RIP, Claudell Washington

[expendable]

I remember him as a Brave, wasting his talents on those rotten AAA level teams. I wonder if Ferris Bueller still has that foul ball he caught.

Son of a *****.
I came here just to make the Ferris Bueller joke.

Dang, another Brave of my youth gone. Great nugget about him hitting the 10,000th HR in Yankees history.

Beat to the Ferris joke as well.

Claudell had a seriously memorable batting stance.

Damn. As a 10-year-0ld, I saved up a bunch of money from doing chores around the house so I could buy a Yankees poster at the local card shop that had Washington, Henderson, Winfield, Righetti, Mattingly and a few others on it.
