Full story from ESPN
So, as of tomorrow, it's official. Baseball offered Angelos a TV revenue sharing deal he couldn't pass up and we have baseball again in DC. According to a story from the
Washington Post, the team will likely be renamed by its new owners. They will play in a renovated RFK for the first 3 years, then move into a new home somewhere along the Anacostia River, which I think will be an awesome sight.
I think this is awesome! Finally I'll be able to metro to a baseball game instead of fighting 495 traffic to get to Baltimore. And I won't even feel bad having a surrogate hometown team, because the Expos are in the NL.
I hope the new stadium is modeled similarly to Camden Yards, the most beautiful stadium in the country. I hope they don't go ultra-modern like Arizona's park.
