Angels manager Ron Washington, a longtime third base and infield coach with the Oakland Athletics, still feels fondly about the franchise and the city.
The ball from the final out safely in Kevin Pillar's glove, teammate Jo Adell reminded the veteran center fielder he might just want to keep this one. Perhaps it would be a meaningful souvenir from the Angels' last scheduled visit to Oakland. 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.
” Chavez gifted Washington one of his six straight Gold Glove awards earned from 2001 to 2006. “I watched many young kids come through here and grow, I watched many baseball players that the industry thought were through come through here and blossom and get deeper contracts for their careers,” Washington said. “... The tradition here in Oakland, I just saw it kept passing down and kept passing down. I've had a great 17 years here.
