Ron Washington is presented ball from last out of Angels’ likely final Oakland visit
LA TimesJo Adell is congratulated by Angels manager Ron Washington, second from left, and his teammates after scoring during the eighth inning of the Angels’ 8-5 win over the Oakland Athletics at the Oakland Coliseum on Sunday. And Pillar immediately realized it had to go to manager Ron Washington, the longtime Athletics’ third base and infield coach who still feels so fondly about the franchise and city. From Jason Giambi, Miguel Tejada, Eric Chavez and Mark Ellis to Marcus Semien, Washington helped many of them to shine and become who they were on the diamond — and even off it as Washington noted, “Mark McGwire, I turned him into a great leader.” Chavez gifted Washington one of his six straight Gold Glove awards earned from 2001 to 2006. I’ve had a great 17 years here.” So you bet everyone around the Angels realized what it meant to Washington to leave with such a fond memory on Sunday.
