Orioles Increasing DC Presence: In an effort to increase their presence in the Washington, DC area, the Baltimore Orioles have hired a public relations firm and have plans to spend $1 million in a new ad campaign. By doing this, the Orioles hope to prevent Major League Baseball from moving a team into the DC area by proving that it would severely impact their fan base. Orioles owner Peter Angelos has been a vocal opponent of any such plans, saying it would have a severe impact on his team.
