Until I read Thomas Boswell's March 20 Sports column, "Angelos Says Plenty," I had almost forgotten that Baltimore still had a baseball team. For the first 25 years of my life, I was a diehard Orioles fan. I made countless treks to Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards.
After Peter Angelos formed a group that bought the Orioles in the mid-1990s, I stuck with the team despite year after year of questionable decisions that put making a few dollars ahead of common sense and the "Oriole Way." Mr. Angelos's dismissal of Jon Miller, Davey Johnson, Roberto Alomar, Rafael Palmeiro, Mike Mussina, et al. -- it is hard to choose which move was the last, last straw -- finally pushed me away.
I live less than 10 minutes from Camden Yards, but I will not go.
Because of Mr. Angelos, I would rather drive an hour to sit at RFK Stadium and watch the Nationals slog through what could be a historically terrible season. At least the Lerners have a plan.
