Angelos died Saturday at 94 after being ill for several years.

“Are you sitting down?” Tom Keegan, my colleague at the Baltimore Sun in Nov. 1994, was laughing so hard, he could barely get out the words. Keegan had in his possession a news release from owner Peter Angelos. The release was two pages, double-spaced and full of pointed language. Though the subject was not named, it was clear who Angelos was talking about. Advertisement Me.

The new management team guided the Orioles to back-to-back playoff appearances in 1996 and ‘97, but peace was not exactly at hand. Angelos undercut Gillick in ‘96 by vetoing his efforts to trade David Wells and Bobby Bonilla before the July 31 deadline. He had a good reason, not wanting to breach the faith of fans who had purchased tickets for August and September. And he proved correct in his decision to keep the team together after the Orioles made their first playoff appearance in 13 years.
