Ron Washington coaches third base for Oakland A's for first time since 2006

Ron Washington was named the Oakland A's new third base coach on Monday, retaking the job that he held from 1997-2006. But we all know the rule: Pics or it didn't happen. We don't make the rules, we only follow them.

Wash looks excited to be back in the coaching box!

Waving home a runner!

The debut wasn't perfect, though. Staring at a 5-0 deficit, with the bases loaded and two out in the fifth, Billy Burns doubled into the right-field corner to score the two lead runners. It appeared that Eric Sogard could have scored from first base as well, and that Wash was indeed waving him to do so, but at some point Wash turned his attention from Sogard to give Burns a stop sign at second base.
