Is this really the end of the Angelos error for Orioles fans?

/

With the news that the John Angelos has agreed to sell the Baltimore Orioles to an ownership group led by Baltimore billionaire David Rubenstein and Mike Arougheti, Luke Jones and Nestor wonder how quickly it’ll happen and what it means for the Mike Elias and the team on the field in the not-too-distant future. A 30-year civic hostage situation feels like it’s ending for local baseball fans who have suffered such an awful ownership group.

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 2: The powerful message of Free The Birds to awful Orioles owner Peter G. Angelos

/

We did our best and this remains the pride of all of the work of Nestor Aparicio: exposing the truth about the awfulness of the Orioles ownership stewardship of the Baltimore Orioles over three decades. The “FREE THE BIRDS” rally was held on September 21, 2006. It was 18 years ago and the team has posted just four winning seasons since then.

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 18 – Our Give A Spit 30 MLB Ballparks in 30 Days Marathon

/

Even though this is further down the list, it might be the greatest thing we’ve ever done. When Jennifer Ford Aparicio was diagnosed with leukemia in March 2014 and survived that summer watching baseball, Nestor was inspired to live out a dream and make it matter. And the 30-30 MLB Give A Spit Tour was born. In June and July of 2015, the couple swabbed for the bone marrow registry in 18 ballparks, swabbing thousands of baseball fans over 30 days and even made it Cooperstown. No rainouts, one passport forgotten, many celebrities and wonderful friends we visited and made along the way on behalf of There Goes My Hero.

Are we getting ripped off by billionaire sports owners? (Of course we are…)

It’s been three decades since Baltimore went “all in” on the promise of sports to revitalize a downtown community. Neil deMause of Field of Schemes tells Nestor that this Angelos family money grab and its parity clause benefit to Steve Bisciotti is the same in every city for American sports franchise owners. Socialize the debt; privatize the profit.
