“We’re all good here in Birdland” said the muted talking head

Baltimore Positive

The “Free Kevin Brown” movement was quelled by the Angelos family and Team Bader at The Warehouse as the Orioles headed West after a bizarre homestand of news regarding MASN broadcasters, free speech and John Angelos demanding $300 million more than $600 million that our citizens are already gifting his baseball franchise. Luke Jones and Nestor take off the gloves on John Angelos and Kevin Brown and what it means for Orioles fans.

The magic of Orioles baseball and musical friendship

Baltimore Positive

Serendipity followed our WNST 25th Anniversary celebration as local sports cartoonist Ricig gifted a surprise visit and local musician Ed Lauer joined Nestor at Costas Inn for a winding discussion about a quarter of a century of lousy Orioles baseball, the Bob Irsay dummy and the dream for another orange parade in Baltimore.

There is no WNST without a guy named Bob Nusgart

Baltimore Positive

It took Nestor Aparicio more than 31 years to finally corral his first boss and the man who sponsored his “big break” at The Baltimore Sun in 1986 to come on the radio show and tell all. Let former Baltimore Sun editor Bob Nusgart tell you (and Nestor) why he gave him a sports journalism life in 1984 at The News American that eventually became WNST at the 25th Anniversary at Costas Inn.

Baltimore Positive
