Albersheim's 2015 June Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/7/2015
Edward Bennett Williams (D 1988) was the owner of the Redskins and Orioles as well as a legendary attorney. In 1983, his two professional teams, the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Redskins won their respective championships. He owned the Orioles from 1980 to 1988. When he bought the Orioles, many feared he would move the team to Washington D.C., and these fears increased with the departure of the Colts. However, Williams never moved the team, and under his ownership, the team signed a new long term lease with Baltimore that would pay for a new stadium, which would become Oriole Park at Camden Yards. He would not live to see the new ball park.
We offer a signed 8x10 photo and a typed letter signed from 1987, on his law office letterhead, regarding a law book he wrote years ago.
