Protesting the Orioles

There will be a protest today during the Tigers/Orioles game:

"Nasty" Nestor Aparicio, the Dundalk guy who's been a radio personality in this town for years and owns WYST ("Sports Talk 1570"), is hoping you'll show up at the "Free the Birds" protest rally he's organized at Camden Yards, when the Orioles play the Tigers at 4:05.

Aparicio, 38, is the little guy who always thinks big.

So today he envisions thousands of ticked-off fans in black "Free the Birds" T-shirts marching through the streets to Oriole Park, congregating in the upper deck, then walking out en masse an hour or so later to deliver a simple message: It's time for O's owner Peter Angelos to go.

"He needs to realize he's hurting the city," Aparicio says, offering the owner this advice, free of charge: "If you want to help this city, you'll put your ego aside, take the check [offered by a prospective buyer] and step aside.

If anyone attends, feel free to e-mail photos from your cell phone to me, pinto@baseballmusings.com. I'll be happy to post them.
