The Washington Nationals have a new owner. Ted Lerner is from Bethesda, MD.
From the Post:
"With his law degree from George Washington, Lerner may not see this as a compliment, but one of the charms of his first news conference was to hear a couple of hardscrabble, son-of-immigrants pronunciations worthy of his D.C. background. He said he wanted to run the Nationals properly so he can "leave sum'em important to be my legacy to future generations." Maybe a guy who still says "sum'em" -- and doesn't care -- is probably more likely to leave "something" of value behind him.
"We will not let you down," he concluded, in the same tone he might have said, "The roof we build will not fall down." "
Now all we have to do is figure out how to get rid of Peter Angelos, "the locally loathed owner of the Baltimore Orioles."
