For the past quarter-century, John and Louis Angelos have participated in the upper management of the Orioles franchise in a variety of ways, but only on rare occasions have either one of them done so in the public eye.
Louis helped organize the effort that resulted in the historic home-and-home goodwill series between the Orioles and a group of Cuban all-stars in 1999. John has served as executive vice president of the team since that same year and has also overseen the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network since its inception in 2005.
Both were essentially ownership apprentices while their father, managing partner Peter Angelos, retained full authority over the Orioles franchise, so they largely remained in the background until their father’s declining health made it necessary for them to assume control of the team about a year ago.
