In his first public media availability in 332 days, Orioles CEO and chairman John Angelos said he would have another by “next week,” offering to reporters that he would “put all your questions” to bed.
Should that actually take place, there certainly remain several to be asked after Monday, when Angelos pointed to the fact it was Martin Luther King Jr. Day to deflect questions about the state of the organization.
The issue shouldn’t have been that the Orioles chose to announce a $5 million pledge to the local nonprofit CollegeBound Foundation on a federal holiday, but rather that Angelos — speaking publicly for the first time in 11 months — seemingly expected the focus to remain on that at a time his organization is facing a deadline to extend its lease and his family is engaged in legal in-fighting.
