He opposed the relocation of the Washington Nationals (formerly the Montreal Expos) to Washington D.C. due to concerns about a reduced share of fan revenue affecting the ability of the Orioles to compete with the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox.

Angelos is widely despised by many fans, who contest that Angelos is more concerned with making a profit by way of the Orioles instead of spending money to make the team competitive. Others note that under his ownership the Orioles visited the postseason in 1996 and 1997 for the first time since 1983, spending more on free agents than prior ownership.
He is a graduate of Eastern College and the University of Baltimore Law School, where he was class valedictorian. For most of his legal career Angelos made a very comfortable living as a trial attorney in his own firm.

Angelos ran for mayor of Baltimore in 1964 but lost with less than 10% of the vote. He recently has become involved in politics again, publicly supporting Republican Governor Robert Ehrlich and criticizing 2006 Democratic gubernatorial candidate Martin J. O'Malley. Some have suspected that Angelos' criticism towards O'Malley stems from the fact that O'Malley publicly supported the existence of the Nationals, thus appearing as a threat to Angelos' continued monopolization of the Baltimore-Washington baseball market and his collection of funds from various revenue streams.
