7. John Moag

Almost 19 years after he lured Art and David Modell from Cleveland to Baltimore, local attorney and power broker John Moag lays low locally these days since his departure from the Maryland Stadium Authority in 1999 with a job that could only be deemed as “well done.” Many men tried and failed to lure an NFL franchise to Baltimore between 1984 and 1995 but it was Moag who had the deal in his briefcase that would change the modern landscape of Baltimore sports.

He was entrusted by Gov. Parris Glendening and saw through the hard work of William Donald Schaefer (who will appear later in our slide show) in leveraging several NFL franchise owners in the pursuit of a team for Baltimore that would become the Ravens.

Many tried. He succeeded. Against all odds and with naysayers everywhere, he saw an NFL team on the field in Baltimore before anyone and he made it happen. He will always be a civic hero for anyone whose ever worn the color purple on a Sunday in the land of pleasant living.

Right Now in Baltimore

The Misters Robinson of Baltimore and our fractured city in 1966

His next stage production at The BMA begins on March 5th and Dan Rodricks returns to Gertrude's for the holidays to take Nestor back to his Aparicio roots with the 1966 Baltimore Orioles winning the World Series – and the realities of the city, race, politics and a colorful upcoming show "No Mean City: Baltimore 1966."
What could two Dundalk teachers with 105 years of experience possibly still teach us about science and music?

What could two Dundalk teachers with 105 years of experience possibly still teach us about science and music?

It didn't even seem possible that colleagues Calvin Statham (59 years) and George Scheulen (46 years). who once taught Nestor at Holabird Junior High School in 1979, could still be teaching him about the important things in life beyond chorus and physics all these years later. Two beloved Baltimore County educators continue trying to tame their rambunctious student for the holidays with music and love (and crab cakes) at Costas Inn in Dundalk.

Johnny O on the lack of progress and Trump chaos and chicanery in Washington

We're all fed up and should be. Congressman Johnny Olszewski joined Nestor to discuss the lack of focus and progress on Capitol Hill and potential solutions for health care, transparency in government and the use of Trump's absurd pardons as a grifting tool.
