D.C. Baseball Update
Eric Fisher at the Washington Times is on the case once more, with a story detailing the complex struggle over financing a Baseball stadium in the District of Columbia. The real problem, as relayed by one D.C. political insider: both the City Council and District May Anthony Williams want to be able to claim primary credit for luring a Baseball club back to Washington. Give it a read.

Posted by: at August 1, 2003 12:32 PM That would probably be a yes, with one proviso: whoever purchases the team will probably have to pay some sort of indemnity to Angelos before moving the Expos to D.C. According to MLB's own rules, because the Expos are a National League team, Angelos can't block their move to Washington. However, in practical terms, the landscape is a lot different. Angelos is and remains one of the most influential lawyers in the nation. If there's anyone who could find a way to delay the Expos move to Washington by leveraging the legal system, it's Angelos.
