Powell Joins Group Bidding on Washington Nationals

Former secretary of state Colin L. Powell has joined a group of Washington-based investors led by Fred Malek and Jeffrey Zients that is trying to buy the Washington Nationals.

"In Washington, we have the opportunity to reinvigorate this city and bring baseball back to a generation of youth who have lost their connection to our nation's pastime," Powell said in a statement yesterday. "I'm encouraged by baseball's efforts to diversify its ranks and its reach, and the Washington Baseball Club shares that commitment to making this team accessible to every Washingtonian."
