How the Deal Got Done

Emperor Selig
I will move the Expos to Washington. Join me, and together we can bring an end to this destructive uncertainty and restore order to Major League Baseball.

Darth Angelos
I will never allow baseball in Washington!

Emperor Selig
So be it. Then you will face my apprentice, Jerry Reinsdorf, dark lord of the Sox.

Reinsdorf
We'll guarantee your annual revenue! We'll guarantee the Orioles' sale price!

Angelos falls back before Reinsdorf's assault

Reinsdorf
We'll create a regional TV network for Washington and Baltimore, and give the Orioles the majority of the revenue! We'll even promise that the new stadium won't look as good as Camden Yards!

Angelos falls beneath the fury of Reinsdorf's blows; he can resist no longer.

Darth Angelos [gasping]
Tell Bud ... I accept.
