National already has an owner

Theodore Lerner is the new owner of the Washington Nationals to pay $ 450 million

WASHINGTON, May 3, 2006 .- The Washington Nationals will be sold to a group headed by Theodore Lerner, who was chosen by Major League Baseball over seven other candidates to purchase the franchise at about $ 450 million.

The selection was confirmed on Wednesday by an officer of the greatest who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official announcement will be made in the afternoon.

Lerner, a Maryland businessman dedicated to real estate, may conduct a press conference Wednesday.

The other 29 clubs bought the biggest missing Montreal Expos 120 million in the Boston Red Sox and Florida Marlins.

After the team moved from Montreal to Washington in 2005, baseball executives hoped to sell the team before playing his first season in the new city.

However, the deadline for selling it was postponed again and again until the season ended.

In November, when negotiations were going slowly, MLB commissioner Bud Selig said he would set more dates for completing the sale. But he said that may have a new owner before the 2006 season.

The date passed without agreement, and Washington began the year with a mark of 9-18.

The manager Frank Robinson said the uncertainty surrounding the team affect his ability to recruit the best free agents.

Negotiations between the city and Major League Baseball to build a new stadium was extended until February, when the assembly of the District of Columbia set a spending ceiling of $ 610 million.

The stadium should be ready for the 2008 season.

Starts
After much waiting, was the starting building the new stadium of the Washington Nationals

WASHINGTON (AP) - From the half-dozen orange cranes, through the piles of marble and shovels made baseball bats, all the right elements were present this Thursday during the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new stadium Washington Nationals.

"It will take hard work and effort to materialize, but it can be done," said Theodore Lerner, the leader of the new Nationals ownership group. "Generally speaking, there are good opportunities to meet the deadline."

He should know that. Lerner, 80 years old, is the largest real estate developer in the area.

Nationals President Tony Tavares, who will be replaced by Stan Kasten once the sale is complete, was less optimistic.

"Everything would have to go perfectly in order to meet this date in 2008," said Tavares, who is involved in planning the new stadium.

Lerner's son, Mark, said he saw the stadium plans two weeks ago and suggested "a couple of things that came to mind. ... Now that we officially became owners, we can sit really talking about it. We think we can add a lot of good ideas to the stadium from our experience as developers. "

But Lerner did not go into specifics. This is because under the agreement in the majors with the city to build the stadium, the money set aside for it is fixed, so any increase in construction cost would be paid by the new owners.

"Any changes that we will suggest, I think we could keep within budget," said Mark Lerner, adding that he likes the stadiums built in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

With the sun shining and a jazz quartet playing, the Lerners and Kasten joined Mayor Anthony A. Williams, members of the District of Columbia, Nationals manager Frank Robinson and others in the place where the construction of the stadium of 41 thousand seats, even without an official name. A green sign with the words "Home Plate" and a big arrow pointing down stood nearby.

Former local agent of former Washington Senators Charlie Brotman was the master of ceremonies at a stage erected in the middle of what will be the garden center right half of the new stadium. While the politicians took turns at the microphone, there were no signs of stress displayed during the months of negotiations for the construction of the stadium between MLB and the District of Columbia Council.

Those negotiations delayed the sale of the club, bought by the majors in 2002, then moved to Washington from Montreal before the 2005 season.

The stadium will be built near the west bank of the Anacostia River River, one mile south of the Capitol. The beginning of the speech of Mayor Williams was drowned before the cries of several persons who claimed, "Feed the needy, NOT the greedy!" (Feeds the needy, not greedy) until they were escorted out of the area.

"Now this area is full of dust, but imagine how it will be within a few years," said Williams. "This stadium really will be giving life and vitality - is actually the rebirth of the Anacostia actuatable front. The establishment of the stadium right here will be the engine for the development of hundreds of acres."

Echoing those words, Councilwoman Linda Cropp said: "It will be a start for a better District of Columbia, for more jobs, more economic development."

It was Cropp, now a mayoral candidate, who in 2004 proposed to change the location of the new stadium, saying he accepted the risks of losing the team if baseball did not accept the changes to the agreement that brought the sport back to the capital the American nation.

Among those who participated in the ceremony were the Nationals players Brian Schneider and Marlon Anderson.

"It feels like a reward. We are less than two years of having a new park. We have new owners," said Schneider. "I think everybody in the clubhouse and in the city to feel rewarded today."

The sale of equipment for $ 450 million will be brought to a vote by the other team owners when they meet on 17 and 18 May. The Rev. Al Sharpton said Thursday he is considering going to that meeting to "see if it will break the color barrier between the owners of teams in the majors."

"If there is any opportunity to have a black owner in baseball is that, in a city where 67 percent of its population is black," Sharpton said in a press release.

The Pope called for reconciliation with the Church
Benedict XVI re-emphasized "the pain and injury" that caused the U.S. clergy abuse and asked the American society to "help" those who suffered

WASHINGTON .- Pope Benedict XVI today called on American Catholics to be reconciled to the church after the sexual abuse of minors by priests, the third day of his visit to the United States and a sermon Mass offered at more than 40 thousand faithful at Nationals Park baseball stadium in Washington.

Benedict XVI, who already spoke yesterday with U.S. bishops on the pedophilia scandal conducted by the priests themselves, took up the subject today and acknowledged the "pain and injury."

At this level, he invited the faithful "to promote healing and reconciliation to help those who have been damaged" and that "to love your priests and to affirm the excellent work they do." "No words of mine can describe the pain and harm inflicted by such abuse, "said the Pope.

He also noted the importance of "loving pastoral attention paid to those who have suffered" and assured that "we have made great efforts to protect children and they have to continue."

Pope Joseph Ratzinger is said aware of the "damage" that caused outrage within the community of the Church, alluding to that after this many Catholics abandoned the practice of religion.

In his homily, the Pope explained how the ancestors of the Americans arrived on the continent "with the expectation of finding a new freedom and new opportunities." Then he wanted to also remember the "injustices suffered by Native American people" and those "who were brought from Africa as slaves by force."

Moreover, chastised the behavior "disconcerting" for some Catholics who "are inclined to adopt attitudes contrary to the truth of the Gospel." He explained how in American society are seen "signs of a disturbing breach of the very foundations of society, signs of alienation, anger, increased violence and lack of moral sense, vulgarity of social relations and growing forgetfulness of God" .

The pope, however, said that "the Church sees signs of great promise in its many strong parishes and lively movements" and "in the enthusiasm for the faith shown by many young people and the number of each year embrace the Catholic faith. "
