The Orioles’ new owners tried to make a strong first impression — on Opening Day, too — with fans at Pickles Pub. Mike Arougheti, the co-founder and CEO of Ares Management and part of the Orioles’ ownership group that recently took control, introduced himself to fans at the bar located near Camden Yards — along with Michael Smith, another member of the group — and bought those in attendance a beer while Baltimore coasted to its 11-3 win against the Angels to start the 2024 season on Thursday afternoon. “We’re buying everybody a beer,” Arougheti said with a Coors Light can in his left hand, a Miller Light can in his right and an Orioles cap on his head, before adding “Let’s go Os” that started a chant.
