Ron Washington might be the last of a dying breed — an old-school baseball lifer who speaks his mind, tells a great story and is a wonderful quote.
That’s why it’s a treat to have Washington — the current Atlanta Braves third-base coach and ex-Texas Rangers manager who is approaching 50 years in professional baseball — as the guest on this week’s episode of the Yahoo Sports MLB Podcast. Washington is as entertaining as ever as he talks about baseball issues both serious and funny — including the lack of black managers in MLB, his own history with some of the game’s best managers and a long-passed-around story by baseball writers of which he is the star.
