Dear Catie Griggs: Tell us more about who this “fan experience” is designed for at Camden Yards?

/

Two months ago, you shook my hand all doe-eyed, took my Baltimore Positive business card at a local networking function that I actively participate in with a great group of community folks monthly, somehow believably feigned that “we’d be in touch” – I took you at your word – and then your bush league team sent along ridiculously insincere replies (or none at all) and your mostly unprofessional Lieutenants have all lined up to pretend that I don’t exist or that my questions on behalf of your fans are somehow irrelevant. I’m here holding a mirror up for you. That’s my role. You hold the power; I hold it accountable. Always…

Communicating and capturing sports history and local business needs

We knew inviting our old journalist-turned-communications pro Greg Abel would involve a walk down “Free The Birds” memory lane but Nestor did not bring him to Koco’s Pub on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to talk about the past but instead to question the future of the Orioles brand and Baltimore sports media and marketing with a lifer chronicler and fan of Charm City glory.

Dear Catie Griggs: When Orioles fans ask why I don’t have an Orioles media credential, I’m sending them to you for answers

/

I’m pulling for you to fix the Orioles on-and-off the field, even if you continue the bizarrely petty Angelos family tradition of willfully, purposely and strategically mistreating me and restricting a legitimate professional working local media member from asking you serious questions in the David Rubenstein “Next Chapter” era.
“We all want the same things here.”

ColumnNes: My letter to Orioles President Catie Griggs

/

This month, I’ve had many Orioles fans ask me on the streets of Baltimore why David Rubenstein, a full year into his new ownership and trying to spread a different image from Peter Angelos with a stunt like this bobblehead promotion this weekend, would continue to deny me legitimate press credentials after 40 years of covering Baltimore sports. So, I wrote this letter to new President Catie Griggs a month ago, a week before Opening Day:
