Peter Angelos Reacts To Jim McKay's Passing

BALTIMORE (WJZ) ― This is a  statement from Orioles majority owner Peter G. Angelos regarding the passing of minority owner Jim McKay:

Jim McKay was a visionary and a pioneer of sports broadcasting and brought the excitement of live competition into the homes of millions of Americans.  

He is an iconic figure in sports media and was at the forefront of so many historic moments in the last 60 years.  He was an innovator whose passion for sports was matched only by his integrity. He was a trusted voice in the world of broadcasting.

Even with all of his national and international success, Jim never forgot where he came from, or his Maryland roots.  He built the Maryland Million to showcase the best in our state's horse racing industry, and he was a valued partner in the Orioles ownership group. 

He will be greatly missed, but we are grateful for his life and legacy.
