Major League Baseball officially approved the sale of the Baltimore Orioles to a group headed by David Rubenstein on Wednesday.  The owner group that includes Hall of Fame Oriole Cal Ripken, had reached an agreement with the Angelos family in January. Peter Angelos whose family had the Orioles since 1993, passed away this past week.  Rubenstein’s group bought the team for $1.7 billion. The Orioles open their 2024 season today, coming off a 101-win season last year.
