Orioles exec: Trump apology before first pitch
MSN News ^ | February 24, 2017

Posted on 02/24/2017 2:30:59 PM PST by detective

A Baltimore Orioles executive says he'd prefer President Trump not throw out a first pitch at Camden Yards without first apologizing for statements that could be viewed as problematic "from a race, ethnicity, religious, gender, disability" standpoint.   John Angelos, son of owner Peter Angelos and the Orioles' executive vice president and chief operating officer, said on a Baltimore-based podcast that divisive rhetoric and actions during Trump's campaign and since his swearing-in require that the president re-double efforts to embrace all members of the community.

Just yesterday I saw a list of "The 50 Most Dangerous Cities In The World".Most of them (I'm guessing about 45) were either in Central/South America (Mexico,Brazil,etc) and Africa (South Africa,particularly).

But there were two or three US cities Chicago,Detroit and Baltimore.

New York and LA were not,OTOH,on that list.

I can't see any reason for DJT to set foot in,or near,Baltimore during his entire Presidency.

Another little twinkie, not having any accomplishments of his own, using his father’s accomplishments to bolster his misguided agenda. You see this so often in family businesses.

Trump: “To the fans of Baltimore and to the Baltimore Orioles, let me freely and publicly apologize for the Orioles not winning a pennant since 1983, that’s over a quarter-century ago. That’s terrible, just terrible. And it should never happen....”

I lived on Frisbee St. in Baltimore 3 blocks from Memorial Stadium in the early 70’’s. Lived and died with the O’s and Earl Weaver and his very good teams of that era.
After Pete bought the team , it wasn’t the same.
I haven’t been to see them in years.

Yankees are on the road the first week of the season. Trump was a pitcher back in the day. The contrast between his pitch and the dud in mom jean’s should be striking. Join the other fall miracle as a visitor by throwing the first pitch out for St. Louis hosting the Cubs. THAT crowd would appreciate him.

I read the article. There is no mention of any actual invitation for Trump to go to Baltimore. It’s all hypothetical. So this oriole needlessly crapped in his own nest. What a pinhead.

He’s probably afraid that if Trump were at Camden Yards, a bunch of leftist tantrum-throwers would show up too.

Here’s what Angelos could do to satisfy everyone. Invite Trump to throw out the first pitch. The next game, he can make it up to all of his various “communities” by having an Orioles Pu**y Hat night.

Gramsci is now firmly ensconced in the offices of every sports league HQ and most of the front offices of the teams. Time to kiss the pro leagues goodbye. Let them rot and fester in their cultural marxist fever swamps.

I’d love to see Trump deliver the opening pitch to Angelos—with a bazooka!

Geez. This is getting old. These grown people need to grow up and act like adults.

The reason they don't like Trump is because he does act like an adult, not a whiney, juvenile crybaby like this guy.

He played freshman and varsity baseball in military school. Football...soccer...basketball also. Even played softball and wrestled! I read through comments in the article and many said he probably doesn’t know how to throw a ball. People know nothing about Donald J. Trump!

“He won academic awards as a Proficient Cadet, Honor Cadet, Coach’s Award for Baseball, and Captain’s Award for baseball.”

I think before I order any Diamondback tickets, I’m going to send them an email inquiring if they intend to trash our president. Ya. I’m gonna do that. I keep getting these damn emails advising me it’s time to get my tickets.
