John Angelos is trying to strike again, and this time he didn’t even need to open his mouth publicly to do it. The Sports Business Journal released a short report on Thursday morning saying that according to sources, “the Orioles have been quietly taking Camden Yards naming rights to market this year.”
The SBJ report from Terry Lefton indicates that the sponsorship being sought would lead to a stadium name that’s something like “Company X Field at Camden Yards.” This would undoubtedly be a rude shock to any Orioles fans who’ve been proud that there’s no dumb corporate name attached to Oriole Park at Camden Yards in any way.
