Search no further for better words of wisdom for David Rubenstein and “Next Chapter” of Orioles baseball in Baltimore

If you want to know the real history of Baltimore baseball, you ask the folks who authored the story of Orioles Magic. Charles Steinberg comes back to Baltimore to hail Larry Lucchino and the real heroes of Camden Yards and saving the Orioles – and offers his best wisdom and native advice to new owner David Rubenstein from his Worcester Woo Sox seat at Polar Park.

Baltimore Positive -

How will the “next chapter” of Orioles ownership communicate with traumatized Baltimore fan base?

It's been 18 years since local communication and public relations guru Greg Abel created the "We're Not Gonna Take It" video after Nestor Aparicio led "Free The Birds" to communicate some uncomfortable truths to Peter Angelos. That was September 2006. Now, with David Rubenstein taking over the helm of the Orioles franchise, what do we expect to be better for the fans – other than everything?

Nestor Aparicio -

The Peter Principles (Ch. 13): Mi$ter Angelo$ & $on$ Network change$ everything for two citie$

Peter G. Angelos threatens MLB and gets his every wish fulfilled in 2005 and the Orioles – and Washington baseball – would never be the same. The story about how MASN lined the family with cash for a generation of awful baseball and even worse television coverage of it.
