Not only is the Baltimore owner Angelos a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, but so are just about all the other owners in both major leagues. To the best of my knowledge, Republicans have been shut out of new MLB ownerships ever since Commissar Selig arrived in 1992 - by design. The last clearly Republican owner was George W. Bush, and he purchased his Texas team when his daddy was president, so that the syndicate could have a pipeline to the White House. In other words, W was granted an exemption. Since then, during Selig's reign, I know of no Republican who has been allowed in the owners' club.

Surprised that Luke Scott hasn't gotten the John Rocker treatment yet as punishment from the crony capitalists who run the game - like sensitivity counseling, etc. But Scott may pay the price next year when he is scheduled for free agency. These leftist owners aren't too keen about politically incorrect speech on the part of their employees, and many have long memories.

“...Baltimore owner Angelos a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat...”

His wife is actually a member at DU. A real leftist wacko.

Frank, what was her name...flydown? or something like that.
