1986. I arrived at wbal radio as a general manager and from the 50s to the mid70s, wbal retial at keillor at the orioles game and one of the objectives when i got there was to repatriate the orioles. Then and now finnmark really staggering at their expense level and its hard to run these things at a profit and you hope that you can create a halo effect and the overall benefit of having the game on the radio in baltimore. It eliminates the whole station. As a, i had it in my mind that we wanted these games. I went up to new york and i sold my pants off.
