Longtime Orioles owner Peter Angelos died on Saturday.
He was 94.
“Today, Peter G. Angelos passed away quietly at the age of 94,” the Orioles said in a statement. “Mr. Angelos had been ill for several years, and the family thanks the doctors, nurses, and caregivers who brought comfort to him in his final years.
“It was Mr. Angelos’ wish to have a private burial, and the family asks for understanding as they honor that request. Donations may be sent to charity in lieu of flowers.”
Angelos’ son, John, recently agreed to sell the team to Carlyle Group Inc, co-founder David Rubenstein for $1.725 billion, according to ESPN.
Angelos owned the Orioles for 30-plus years.
