BALTIMORE — In the midst of a lawsuit among members of the Angelos family, Orioles chairman and CEO John Angelos issued a statement Monday asserting that the club “will never leave” Baltimore.
Louis Angelos, the brother of John, brought a lawsuit against his brother Thursday, alleging he was trying to seize control of the team and the rest of his father’s holdings. Their 92-year-old father, Peter, has owned the Orioles for nearly three decades. The suit also named their mother, Georgia Angelos, as a defendant.
The lawsuit included the claim from Louis Angelos that John Angelos would consider moving the team to Tennessee if he gained full control. John Angelos has a home there with his wife, a country music singer-songwriter who owns a Nashville-based entertainment company.
