I think you remember Leslie Schweitzer from the Chamber. This was her husband - you, me and your Dad met him when we were at Camden Yards in Angelos’ box for your Dad to throw out the first pitch. I was going to have your Dad send Leslie a note if OK?

BASEBALL LOBBYIST DIES AT 70: Via The Washington Post's Martin Weil, "William H. Schweitzer, a partner with the law firm BakerHostetler in Washington who represented Major League Baseball in the halls of Congress as one of the nation's premier sports lobbyists, died March 3 at his home in Alexandria, Va. He was 70 ... Mr. Schweitzer developed expertise in election law and campaign finance issues, as well as sports law.

He was chiefly known as a top Washington lobbyist for Major League Baseball for the past 20 years, initially as general counsel of the American League and later working with the office of the commissioner to represent the organization's interests in Washington. He was credited with smoothing the way for the return of big league baseball to Washington, which lost the Senatorsto Texas in 1971. The Montreal Expos moved to the District in 2005, becoming the Washington Nationals."
