Say what you want about Peter Angelos, but he’s always made good on his promise to never move the Baltimore Orioles. In an age when it’s almost fashionable for teams to move if they don’t get a stadium, Angelos and his partners seem to understand that a team is a public trust. Yes it’s his team, but it really belongs to the fans.
So when I heard this story yesterday about the San Diego Chargers of the NFL moving to Los Angeles, I felt very badly for the people of San Diego. And all Orioles fans I hope would feel the same – not just because those people are now on notice that they could lose their team, but because Baltimore’s been through this.
