One of the bonuses that comes with being on the board for the Do It For Durrett Foundation is the chance to reconnect with past Texas Rangers players, coaches and executives who are glad to lend their help to the cause.
Former manager Ron Washington, now coaching infielders and third base for the upstart Atlanta Braves, has been busy harvesting items for the silent auction at the June 27 event at Globe Life Park (tickets available at doitfordurrett.com/shop).
He was in good spirits and fired up when he called June 2 to give an update on his Durrett progress.
