BALTIMORE — A new lawsuit filed by one of Orioles owner Peter Angelos’ sons not only makes explosive legal allegations, but tells deeply personal stories about a guarded family that typically shies away from the public gaze.
Louis F. Angelos, 52, alleges in the suit filed this week in Baltimore County Circuit Court that his brother, John P. Angelos, 54, sought — against his father’s wishes — to wrest control and ownership of the family fortune, including the Major League Baseball team.
In making his allegations, Louis Angelos recounts anecdotes — for example, about stormy encounters and a yearslong rift between John Angelos and his father — that unleash a cloudburst of family drama.
