Orioles chairman John Angelos said emphatically that the team will not leave Baltimore, then reacted contentiously when a reporter asked for more clarity on the future of the team’s ownership.
“Fear not, the Orioles will be here,” he said.
Angelos appeared with Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott at Camden Yards on Monday to announce a $5 million commitment to the CollegeBound Foundation, which empowers students of Baltimore schools to pursue a college degree or other post-secondary option. As part of the initiative, the Orioles will provide paid internships to former Baltimore City students and current College Completion Program scholars.
