PETER ANGELOS—MANAGING PARTNER
Peter Angelos, the Principal Owner and Managing Partner of the Baltimore Orioles, has brought dynamic leadership to the ballclub and to the community since he and his fellow investors restored the team to local ownership in August, 1993. The Orioles have led the American League in average attendance in five of the last nine seasons and have reached the American League Championship series twice since Mr. Angelos and his group purchased the ball club; the team had not been to the playoffs in the previous 10 seasons. In recent years, Orioles ownership has committed to building a winner by rebuilding the farm system with young talent that is now beginning to pay dividends. The addition of various key veteran players via trade and free agency, as well as selection of a new manager, has led to a team that is creating excitement on and off the field. These developments are paving the way for a new era of Orioles baseball. Mr. Angelos has had a dramatic effect on baseball beyond the Orioles as well. In 2002, he was the only owner to serve on the negotiating committee that worked out a historic labor agreement between Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association. The two sides were able to reach a five-year agreement without a strike, the first settlement without a work stoppage since the rise of the players' labor movement in 1969. He also has taken the lead in helping utilize baseball as a bridge among people. Mr. Angelos spearheaded the effort to have the Orioles and a team of Cuba's best players engage in an historic 2-game series in the two countries, a match-up viewed as a way to transcend politics and bring about closer cultural and social ties between the people of the United States and Cuba. He has also been helping to develop the first baseball team to represent Greece in Olympic baseball competition at the 2004 Olympics in Athens and thereafter to establish baseball on a permanent basis for Greek youth. This effort is being done in compliance with Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig's program to extend the internationalization of baseball. At Camden Yards, Mr. Angelos has also taken constructive steps off the field. Over the years, he has improved 10,000 of Camden Yards' seats to address fan comfort. For the 2004 season, cushions have been added to more than 6,000 seats. Early in his ownership, he responded to complaints by having adjustments made to 3,300 seats along the left and right field lines that had been angled improperly toward center field. And when he became principal owner, Mr.Angelos rectified injustices that had been done to those season ticket holders who had their seats unfairly relocated when the club first moved into Camden Yards. In addition to building a club fans can be proud of, Mr. Angelos has overseen the efforts of the Orioles to make significant contributions to the community, particularly for children. The Orioles Charitable Foundation has contributed to organizations such as the Salvation Army, the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation, the National Kidney Foundation, House with a Heart, Junior Advancement and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Brain Gala. Also among recipients of Orioles support is the John Steadman Cancer Initiative, which raises funds for cancer research and awareness in memory of the longtime Baltimore sportswriter who succumbed to the disease in 2001.

OWNERSHIP OF THE ORIOLES
On October 4, 1993, American League owners unanimously approved the sale of ownership of the Orioles from then-principal shareholder Eli S. Jacobs to a group of investors led by Baltimorean Peter Angelos. The sale placed the Orioles in local hands for the first time since 1979, when Jerold C. Hoffberger, representing his family, which owned a controlling interest in both the Orioles and the National Brewing Company, sold the franchise to prominent Washington attorney Edward Bennett Williams. From October 29, 1953, when the transfer of the St. Louis Browns franchise became official until Williams purchased the club late in 1979, the Baltimore Baseball Club, Inc. was publicly held and was operated by a group of Baltimore investors which owned a majority share of the BBCI. Among those who played key roles in the operation of the franchise during that 26-year period were: former chief executives Clarence Miles, who organized the group that secured the St. Louis Browns for Baltimore and who served as the club's first president; James Keelty, Jr.; Joseph A. W. Iglehart; and Jerry Hoffberger, as well as longtime club treasurer Zanvyl Krieger ('58-'79).

TOM CLANCY—VICE CHAIRMAN OF COMMUNITY PROJECTS & PUBLIC AFFAIRS
In the mid-1980's, Tom Clancy was an obscure Maryland insurance agent with a passion for naval history and only a letter to the editor and a brief article on the MX missile to his credit. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore's Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October--the story of a Russian submarine captain who defects to the United States--sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted on to the New York Times bestseller list after President Ronald Reagan pronounced it "the perfect yarn" and "non-put-downable." Since then, Clancy has established himself as the undisputed king of the techno-thriller, a literary genre he's credited with inventing, and a master at building realistic scenarios by "turning up the volume" on current events and political reality. Other #1 bestsellers followed: Patriot Games, Cardinal of the Kremlin, Clear and Present Danger, The Sum of All Fears, Without Remorse, Debt of Honor, Executive Orders, Rainbow Six, The Bear and The Dragon and, most recently, Red Rabbit. The walls of Clancy's office are lined with war games, books on weapons, and government produced maps, all tribute to his lifelong fascination with technology and the military. Although severe myopia limited his personal involvement as a member of the armed forces to a brief stint in Loyola's ROTC program, the success of his books has resulted in his "adoption" by the military. He is regularly welcomed aboard jets, submarines, and destroyers, and permitted to ride in tanks to his heart's content. Admirals and generals give him access, Pentagon officials debrief him, and many of his books are required reading at our nation's war colleges. His non-fiction works include Into the Storm: A Study in Command with General Fred Franks, Jr. (Ret.), and Submarine, Armored Cav, Fighter Wing, Marine, and Airborne. He is the co-creator of the Op-Center, Power Plays, and Net Force series.
JOE FOSS—VICE CHAIRMAN/CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
Now in his 11th season as the Orioles’ Vice Chairman, Joe Foss oversees all of the club's day-to-day operations.

On June 1, 1993, Foss joined Peter Angelos' acquisition team and then supervised the transition between ownership groups. Mr. Angelos appointed him to Vice Chairman on December 9, 1993. Foss graduated from St. Thomas College in St. Paul, MN in 1970, where he received his BA in Business Administration. In 1972, he received his MBA in Marketing/Finance from the University of Minnesota at Mankato. His extensive educational background led to 17 successful years in the banking industry with the Norwest Corporation in Minneapolis, where he held positions from Commercial Banking Officer to Senior Vice President. Foss continued his career in banking when he relocated to the Washington metropolitan area and accepted the position of President and Chief Operating Officer of First American Bank, N.A., of Washington in December '89. In April 1991, he was elected Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Community involvement is very important to Foss. He is an active board member of the Kennedy-Krieger Institute, the Maryland Special Olympics, the Babe Ruth Museum, and the Johns Hopkins Center for ALS Research. He is a former president of the Minnesota Aquatennial Association, former treasurer and trustee of The Green Door (Washington, DC), and former board member of the Children's Theatre Company of Minneapolis and the National Aquarium in Baltimore.

"I know that Jim and Mike are eagerly looking forward to this partnership, drawing on each other’s strengths and experience to better the organization. It is clear that this is a unique team with a wealth of what it takes to win."
A NEW LOOK FOR ORIOLES BASEBALL
JIM BEATTIE—EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, BASEBALL OPERATIONS
In his first season as the Orioles’ Executive Vice President for Baseball Operations, Jim Beattie took a measured approach to making changes to the team’s personnel and character. He has combined the on-field experience he gained in nine years as a big league pitcher with an Ivy League background, an MBA degree and 12 previous years in major league front offices to bring knowledge, experience and an understated manner to his post. Jim was named on December 4, 2002 to team with Mike Flanagan in overseeing all aspects of the Orioles’ major league, scouting and player development areas. Beattie brings experience in each area to the Orioles front office. Beattie, 49, served as vice president and general manager of the Montreal Expos for six seasons, from 1995 through 2001. In that role, he supervised the team’s baseball operations, including the major league, player development and scouting departments. Prior to joining the Expos, he served as director of player development with the Seattle Mariners for six years beginning in 1989, where he was in charge of the minor league system and played a role in major league player acquisitions, contracts and scouting. Beattie was drafted and signed with the New York Yankees in 1975 and went on to pitch nine seasons in the majors with the Yankees (1978-79) and Mariners (1980-86). In 203 games, he compiled a 52-87 record with a 4.17 ERA. As a rookie in 1978, he beat the Kansas City Royals in the American League Championship Series and pitched a complete game victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. He also yielded Carl Yastrzemski’s 3,000th career hit in 1979. Beattie ranks among Seattle’s alltime leaders in wins (9th, 43), innings pitched (7th, 944.2), complete games (4th, 30), shutouts (5th, 6), strikeouts (9th, 563) and starts (6th, 147). As a player, he served on the MLB Players’ Association Executive Board from 1983 through 1986. A graduate of Dartmouth College, Beattie earned a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Washington in 1989 before rejoining the Mariners in the front office. Among the players drafted and developed in the Mariners farm system during his tenure there were Alex Rodriguez, Shawn Estes, Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe. Beattie was named the Expos’ general manager on October 27, 1995, and over the next six seasons guided an organization that had the lowest revenues and payroll in major league baseball. Under Beattie, the Expos developed and brought to the majors such players as Vladimir Guerrero, Jose Vidro, Javier Vazquez and Michael Barrett. He had the second longest tenure among Montreal’s 10 general managers, after original GM Jim Fanning. Beattie resigned following the 2001 season, but returned to 10
the Expos in 2002 as a special assistant to Expos GM Omar Minaya, serving primarily in a scouting capacity. Beattie was born in Hampton, VA, but grew up in South Portland, ME, graduating from South Portland High School. He and his wife, Martha, have three teenage children, son Sam and daughters Nell and Sarah. They live in the Roland Park section of Baltimore.
MIKE FLANAGAN—VICE PRESIDENT, BASEBALL OPERATIONS
After pouring a quarter-century into the Baltimore Orioles as a player, coach, instructor and broadcaster, Mike Flanagan took on a new role last year when he was named Vice President of Baseball Operations for the organization. Professionals in the game have long been impressed with his insight and skills as an evaluator of talent and of people, and his move into the front office was as smooth as his pitching delivery. The Orioles Hall of Famer became the first former Cy Young Award winner ever to assume a general manager-level position in baseball when he was named to his post on December 4, 2002. He has been involved with the Orioles for most of the last 11 years since he retired as a player in 1992. In addition to his coaching and broadcasting roles, he also served in an advisory capacity to Orioles’ Chairman and CEO Peter Angelos after stepping down as pitching coach for the second time in 1998. "Flanny" compiled a 167-143 record and a 3.90 ERA in 18 major league seasons with the Orioles and Blue Jays, including a 141-116 mark over 15 seasons with the Orioles. He won the American League Cy Young Award in 1979, when he went 23-9 with a 3.08 ERA. He was a member of two American League championship teams with the Orioles, in 1979 and 1983, as well their 1983 World Championship team. Flanagan was drafted and signed by former Orioles scout John Stokoe in 1973 and made his major league debut in 1975. In 1979, he led the league with 23 wins and 5 shutouts and was the AL Cy Young Award winner as the Orioles won the AL title and advanced to the World Series before losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1983, when the Orioles won their last World Championship, Flanagan went 12-4 during the regular season despite missing nearly three months with ligament damage in his left knee. From 1977 through 1983, he made more starts (223) than any other pitcher in the American League and was third in wins (109) over that time. In 1987, he was traded to Toronto and pitched for the Blue Jays for 3 1/2 years, helping them win the American League East in 1989. A starter his entire career, he returned to the Orioles in 1991, this time as a reliever and made 63 appearances out of the bullpen. On October 6, 1991, in the last game played at Memorial Stadium, Flanagan entered in relief with one out in the 9th inning and to the overwhelming delight of 50,700 sentimental fans, struck out Detroit’s Dave Bergman and Travis Fryman to become the last Oriole to throw a pitch on 33rd Street. He finished his career with the Orioles in 1992 when they moved to Camden Yards. Flanagan was elected to the Orioles Hall of Fame in 1994, his first year of eligibility. He ranks 3rd in club history in games pitched (450), innings pitched (2,317.2) and starts (328), 4th in strikeouts (1,297) and complete games (98), 5th in victories (141) and 7th in shutouts (17). Mike served as Orioles pitching coach in 1995, then spent two years as an analyst on Orioles television broadcasts. He returned to the field in 1998 as pitching coach before returning again to the broadcast booth, where he spent four seasons. In addition to his broadcasting duties, he served as an instructor during the Orioles winter workouts at Camden Yards and during spring training in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Flanagan, a native of Manchester, NH, is a third-generation pro baseball player. Both his grandfather and father, Ed Sr. and Ed Jr., played in the Boston Red Sox organization. Mike attended the University of Massachusetts, where he played baseball and freshman basketball. While at UMass, he faced Julius Erving and Rick Pitino in a frosh-varsity basketball game. Mike and his wife, Alex, reside in Sparks, MD. He has three daughters, Kerry, Kathryn and Kendall.

In 1982, he was named general manager at Bristol and continued in that capacity when the franchise moved to New Britain in 1983. In November 1983, he joined the Boston Red Sox as administrative assistant for minor league operations. Four years later, he was named director of minor league operations and continued overseeing the Red Sox farm system until August 1999, when he was named Assistant General Manager. Ed’s father, Edward F. Kenney, retired as Vice President for Player Development in 1992 after 46 years with the Red Sox. Ed’s grandfather, Tom Kenney, also worked for the Red Sox for many years, beginning in the late 1930s. Ed and his wife, Debbie, have two sons, Patrick, 15, and Matthew, 13. They live in Ellicott City, MD.
DARRELL "DOC" RODGERS—DIRECTOR, MINOR LEAGUE OPERATIONS
It took less than a year to see the impact that Doc Rodgers has had on the Orioles’ farm system. He was named Director of Minor League Operations on January 14, 2003, and oversaw a systematic change that emphasized fundamentals and discipline to bring out the best in individual players as well as staff. In the process, the organization experienced a dramatic turnaround in the farm system’s on-field performance as well. After finishing last in 2002 among all major league organizations with a combined 332-434 record (.433), the Orioles jumped 10 places to 20th this season with their 368-389 (.486) mark. The 81game difference in win-loss record was the 2nd biggest improvement among all major league organizations, behind Arizona’s 85-game jump (from 322-388 to 365-346). Rodgers joined the Orioles from the Cincinnati Reds, where he served for six seasons as assistant general manager under Jim Bowden. In that role, he oversaw both player development and scouting and played a pivotal role in increasing the Reds’ presence in the international scouting arena. Under his direction, the Reds established baseball academies in both the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. He also assisted the GM in all areas of the major league operations, including the day-to-day operation of the big league club, player trades and acquisitions, contract negotiations and arbitration. Doc began his front office career in 1993 as the Reds’ assistant for baseball operations, a position he held through 1995. He joined the Detroit Tigers in 1996 as director of baseball administration before returning to the Reds in 1997 as assistant to the general manager. Before joining the Reds’ front office, he spent the 1991 and 1992 seasons as pitching coach for the organization’s Appalachian League affiliate in Princeton, WV. That followed a six-year career as a pitcher in the minor leagues. Rodgers was drafted three times (’81, ’84, ’85) before signing with the San Francisco Giants in 1985. He was traded to Cincinnati in 1988 and advanced to Class AA Chattanooga in 1989 before finishing his playing career in the Mexican League with Nuevo Laredo in 1990. He played on two Class A minor league championship teams, in 1987 with Fresno (California League) and in 1988 with Cedar Rapids (Midwest). He was named the Northwest League’s Topps Player of the Month for July 1985 and was the league’s Topps Player of the Year that season as well. He also was named to the Midwest League AllStar team in 1988. 12
Rodgers, 41, earned a degree in journalism from the University of Oklahoma in 1985. He received his master’s degree in sports management from Oklahoma in 1994. Doc and his wife, Dorothy, have a daughter, Jazmine Nicole, and a son, Kobe Matthew.
TONY DEMACIO—DIRECTOR OF SCOUTING
Beginning his sixth season as the Orioles’ Director of Scouting, Tony DeMacio continues to leave his mark on the organization's future. Under DeMacio, the Orioles have added to their domestic and international scouting staffs to allow for better coverage areas, making a dramatic effect on the quality and number of players the Orioles have drafted and signed. In the 1999 First Year Player Draft, DeMacio oversaw the Orioles' selection of seven of the first 50 picks, including four first round and three "sandwich" selections and was instrumental in the getting the organization's first 13 picks signed. The draft was widely hailed in baseball circles not just for the quantity of early picks, but for the quality of the selections. Three of that year’s selections - Larry Bigbie, Brian Roberts and Erik Bedard - currently are on the Orioles’ 40-man roster. Another 1999 draft pick, Willie Harris (24th round), saw major league time with the Orioles, before being traded to the Chicago White Sox. In subsequent drafts, the Orioles have further strengthened their farm system. In addition to highlyregarded first-round selections in 2B Mike Fontenot (2001), LHP Adam Loewen (2002) and OF Nick Markakis (2003), DeMacio’s drafts have included other highly-regarded prospects from lower rounds, including LHP Brian Forystek (14th round, 2000), RHP David Crouthers (3rd round, 2001) and RHP John Maine (6th round, 2002). In addition to drafting the right players, he has been instrumental in getting players to sign with the organization: 32 of the Orioles’ first 35 picks from the 2002 draft were signed, followed by 27 of the first 34 picks in last year’s draft. DeMacio, 59, was named to his current position on December 4, 1998, after spending four seasons (1995-98) as East Coast Scouting Supervisor with the Chicago Cubs. He began his baseball career with the Atlanta Braves and was with them for seven years, from 1983-90. Tom Glavine, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, was the first player that Tony signed for the Braves. The last player he signed before leaving Atlanta was Chipper Jones. Tony joined the Cleveland Indians organization in 1991 as the National Crosschecker and was involved in drafts that brought future major leaguers Manny Ramirez, Chad Ogea, Albie Lopez, Jon Nunnally, Paul Shuey, Pep Harris, Paul Byrd and Herbert Perry to the Indians farm system. In 1994 he served as a major league scout for Cleveland. Following the 1994 season, he joined the Cubs. A native of McKees Rocks, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh, DeMacio attended Parsons College in Fairfield, IA where he played four years of baseball. As captain of the team in his final season, DeMacio helped Parsons finish second nationally in NCAA Division II. The Division II winner, Grambling University, was led by Ralph Garr, whose son Ralph Jr. is currently an Orioles scout. Tony and his wife, Diane, reside in Virginia Beach, VA. He has a daughter, Heather, who resides in Owings Mills, MD, and a son, Robert, who is a student at West Virginia University.
