Let’s see, if Peter Angelos and the Baltimore had their way, the following would have never happened:
-
Nationals debut in 2005 at the Philadelphia Phillies
Brad Wilkerson hitting for the cylce in the team’s second game
The President throwing out the first pitch at the first home opener at RFK Stadium.

Again, if Peter Angelos and the Baltimore Orioles had their way, none of this would have happened. As it was, we couldn’t watch the Nats for almost 2 whole seasons because Angelos kept them off most area cable systems. Do you want to reward that by going up there and buying tickets?
