The Angels have hired Ron Washington, the 71-year-old’s first job as MLB manager since 2014

The Los Angeles Angels hired Ron Washington to be their new manager Wednesday, turning to a veteran baseball mind in an attempt to end nearly a decade of losing. The 71-year-old Washington became the majors' oldest current manager and only the second active Black manager, joining Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers. "I'm lost for words, but not the work it will take!" Washington told The Associated Press by text message.
