Here’s a great collection of pictures of MLB mangaers when they were players. Of course we start with the Ranger’s Ron Washington.
Ron Washington played 10 seasons for five clubs, compiling lifetime totals of 20 home runs and 146 RBIs. His managerial apprenticeship took place in Oakland, where he served as the team’s third base and infield coach from 1997 to 2006, tutoring many of the A’s young stars. He was given his chance to take over a big league squad in 2006, when Texas fired Buck Showalter and named Washington the new manager. He currently has the Rangers in the hunt to make the playoffs for the first time in a decade.

In this day and age of just about every adequate baseball player in the world being outed as horrible, sinful steroid users, you can’t go to a game without wondering if the player you’re rooting for is enhancing his performance with something a bit more powerful than Viagra. Luckily, there’s a whole slew of ballplayers who leave no doubt as to whether or not they’ve ever taken steroids; odds are they never lifted a weight in their lives either.
