Longtime Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos has died at the age of 94. His family announced in a statement that Angelos, who had been ill for several years, died Saturday.
FILE - Peter G. Angelos, center, owner of the Baltimore Orioles, sits in the owners box at Ft.Lauderdale Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. with his son, Louis, and wife, Georgia, during his team’s spring training baseball game against the Boston Red Sox Sunday, March 18, 2007. Peter Angelos, owner of a Baltimore Orioles team that endured long losing stretches and shrewd proprietor of a law firm that won high-profile cases against industry titans, died Saturday, March 23, 2024. He was 94.
In August 1993, Angelos led a group of investors that bought the Orioles. The group included writer Tom Clancy, filmmaker Barry Levinson and tennis star Pam Shriver. The price tag of $173 million — at the time the highest for a sports franchise — came in a sale forced by the bankruptcy of then-owner Eli Jacobs.J.D.
“We’re duty bound to provide major league baseball to our fans, and that can’t be done with replacement players,” he insisted. The series marked the first time the Cuban national team had faced a squad composed solely of major league players, and the first time since 1959 a big league club played in Cuba.
Showalter was fired, and a major rebuild began the following season under rookie manager Brandon Hyde. The Orioles capped a swift rise from their rebuild by winning 101 games and a division title in 2023. As he neared his 90th birthday, Angelos finally settled into the background and entrusted the operation of the team to his two sons, John and Louis.
