Orioles say Greeks have cash

The strange pre-Olympic odyssey of the Greek baseball team continues. The Baltimore Orioles, whose Greek-American owner Peter Angelos was instrumental in setting up the team, are now saying the Greek team does have all the money it needs.

O's spokesman Bill Stetka said: ''We were surprised to hear that. It's a non-issue. The flights have been arranged, and the cost already covered, through a cooperative effort by the Orioles, major league baseball, the Greek Federation and the family of Peter Angelos.''
