In 1970 the Baltimore Orioles had just beaten the Cincinnati Reds in the World Series. The Orioles team Chaplain, the great Msgr. Marty Schwalenberg, was thrilled… but he had a problem. He needed advertisers for his parish bulletin at St. Charles in Pikesville. He called on one of his favorite parishioners, “super salesman” Phil Maher, Sr. During one very enjoyable dinner discussion Msgr. Schwalenberg’s problem was solved and FATA was effectively born.
