The Washington Post: Public Relations Firms Jump to Give Athletics a Sporting Chance at Success

Deborah Gasper, president of Ad Agency Inc., said the District, Maryland and
Northern Virginia should present a united front in trying to attract professional
baseball and lure big-time sporting events.

Earlier this year Gasper's agency developed a 24-inch-by-36-inch poster featuring
a photo of the Washington Senators. The Washington, D.C. Marketing Center
offered it to District government officials in their meetings with baseball officials
as they attempted to nab the Montreal Expos franchise.

"We want to bring baseball to D.C.," Gasper said.
