WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 19 – Getting “Baltimore” back on the Orioles jerseys wasn’t as easy as it sounds

Our radio station, hosts and listeners spent the first decade of our existence as the hometown sports radio station trying to explain to Peter Angelos why "BALTIMORE" across the crests of the visiting grays was not just a marketing ploy or a sales pitch, but a way of life for the home team.
