SSTV Sports Stories - The Browns Move To Baltimore, feat. Ralph Schudel - a podcast by StadiumScene.TV

Main Event is proud to share the long-awaited return of StadiumScene.TV's Sports Stories is here!  In our first episode back, we have taken on the role of hybrid talk show and documentary by featuring a StadiumScene.TV partner helping us tell a story about a memorable or controversial experience where they have a personal experience with that story.  In our first episode back, we have our old friend and now frequent pilot regular, Ralph Schudel of ralphschudel.com talk to us about growing up in northeast Ohio and experiencing the Cleveland Browns moving to Baltimore.  
This episode is the unofficial sequel of our popular "Colts Move to Indy" episode from 2017.  Ralph introduces us to the key players of the Cleveland Browns move such as owner Art Modell and minority owner, Al Learner (spoiler alert: he returns again at the end), some former Browns coach named Bill Belichick (yes, that one), and how the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium along with the Cleveland Indians leaving for Jacobs Field (now Progressive Field) helped accelerate the move out of Cleveland.  In the end, as we all know, the Browns returned to Cleveland as an expansion franchise in 1999 and Ralph closes out the episode talking about how much the Browns mean/meant to the people of northeast Ohio.  
Bonus question... why does legendary movie Director Richard Donner (Superman, The Goonies, Lethal Weapon series) have a bust of Abraham Lincoln in his office?  Stay tuned to the very end to find out why!
