Peter Angelos, 94, Longtime Owner of the Orioles, Passes Away.

-


The Baltimore Orioles announced Saturday that longtime owner Peter Angelos died at 94.

The Angelos family thanks doctors, nurses, and caregivers who helped Mr. Angelos in his final years for understanding as they honor that request. Instead of flowers, you can send donations to charity. In 1993, Angelos led a group of investors to purchase his hometown Orioles for a then-record $173 million from Eli Jacobs, a successful trial attorney. As a proud native of Baltimore, Peter Angelos deeply appreciated owning the Baltimore Orioles, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. "Peter's lifetime of philanthropy greatly benefited numerous worthy causes throughout his hometown. He championed the Orioles' historic 1999 series with the Cuban National Team. Peter ably served the game on our Labor Committee, and I will always remember his personal support when I was first elected to this role in his home city in 2014. "I extend my condolences to Peter's wife, Georgia, their sons, John and Louis, and the entire Angelos family."


The Angelos family agreed to pay a reported $1.725 billion to a group led by billionaire David Rubenstein, which included Orioles icon Cal Ripken Jr., to acquire a controlling interest in the franchise in January.

The Orioles, who have not won the World Series since 1983, are coming off their most successful season (101-61) under Angelos' leadership. During that time, Baltimore qualified for the playoffs six times (1996, 1997, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2023).

If monkeys could speak, what kind of relationship would humans have with them?

If monkeys could speak, what kind of relationship would humans have with them? They would be our slaves and they would be everywhere, in all areas of society. There is zero doubt about it. If humans are capable of enslaving other humans and reducing them to the level of “inhuman animals,” imagine what we’d do to  actual  nonhuman animals that were capable of understanding complex commands. We already use animals intelligent as slaves in a wide variety of ways, up to their limit of capability.

Which degree is better, engineering, business or computer science?

  Which degree is better, engineering, business or computer science? Why not all three? Three degrees in four years is completely within the reach of a modern human being armed with a laptop. There are three things you should do: All of them are important. None of them is complete in their own rights.. The society intentionally teach you only a part of “knowledge”, so you won’t be able to stand alone. If you learn engineering, you can always learn business later. But if you learn business, you can never learn engineering later. If you major in engineering, you will be an engineer in 30 years. If you major in computer science, you will be jobless in 30 years. If you major in business, you will be a CEO or at least a salesman in 30 years. Which one sounds better? In my career I have met several people who did multiple degrees. Elon Musk did engineering and business at undergraduate school. A former student of mine, Jack, did mechanical engineering and electrical engineering majors in thr
