Most Powerful Washingtonians

In its October issue, Washingtonian magazine puts me on its “Super Power” list — the 150 most influential people in Washington.
Here’s what they say:
“Fred Malek. He lost his bid to own DC’s baseball team, but the GOP insider and corporate-buyout artist doesn’t lose often.”
I appreciate the praise. But as far as DC’s baseball team in concerned, here’s what the Washingtonian magazine said about me last year:
“Fred Malek: … we wouldn’t have baseball without him.”
It was a pleasure to work with a visionary leader like Mayor Tony Williams and all the members of my Washington-based ball group team. I am deeply gratified to have played a role in bringing baseball to our city. We are also pleased that it is in the hands of strong local owners, with a solid team president like Stan Kasten.

…there’s plenty of former Orioles fans who are glad to have baseball back in D.C. too!
O’s just haven’t been the same without Cal Ripken Jr….
