Orioles Sale Hopes Rise as City Raises $12 Million
Baltimore officials say a local group has raised 12 million dollars to buy the Orioles, with 6 million from 32 businessmen, a 4 million loan from Jerold Hoffberger, and 2 million in cash assets, while the AL owners must approve the sale. The city and state may pledge up to 250 thousand each over five years to cover deficits, with potential use of the state tax share as a recurring grant or for Memorial Stadium improvements.
