Are O’s or Nats a bigger franchise? Split decision
WASHINGTON — Bloomberg News puts the Baltimore Orioles’ value at $1 billion-plus and says they’re the most valuable nonfootball sports franchise in D.C. and Maryland.

Municipal Stadium in Hagerstown — where the Washington National's minor league Suns play — has had a bit of an influx in crowd and merchandise sales recently, thanks to Bryce Harper.

Even the O’s get a piece of the Strasburg action
Hey, remember that deal Peter Angelos finagled back in 2005 when the Nationals came to D.C.? You know, the one where the Orioles retain majority ownership of MASN while getting the rights to broadcast Nationals games? You know where I’m going with this. While not so impressive last year when the Nationals ratings were just […]
Nationals offer $1 tickets to Strasburg intro game
So the Washington Nationals just signed San Diego State pitcher Stephen Strasburg to a record-setting contract worth $15.1 million over four years, and the team’s next financial move is to practically give away game tickets for $1 a pop.
