Hey there, time traveller!

A Major League Baseball ownership committee has recommended approval of the sale of the Baltimore Orioles, one of several steps toward finalizing the purchase, according to a person familiar with the decision.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Friday night because the recommendation hadn’t been announced.
The sale still has to go before MLB’s executive council and then must be approved by 75% of all owners before it can be closed.
Carlyle Group Inc. co-founder David Rubenstein reached an agreement in January to buy the Orioles for $1.725 billion. Cal Ripken Jr. and Grant Hill are part of the investor group headed by Rubenstein.
The Angelos family has been in control of the Orioles since 1993, when Peter Angelos purchased the team for $173 million. Angelos’ son John is the team’s current chairman.
