Not only that, but Peter Angelos, owner of the Orioles, as a condition of the Expos moving to DC, got a stake in the regional Network (MASN) that airs both Os and Nats games. If the Nats continue to get better and become a bigger draw, he's going to make money off the Nats through MASN (to the best of my knowledge they haven't yet hit it off that well locally in the tv dept)

Angelos is probably going to have to kick the bucket in order to be removed as the Os owner, but he's 81 this year so it might not take so long (or he could end up living to be 140 and torture Baltimore for 60 more years)..
