U L played 11 @MLB seasons mostly with the @Royals. He played with a blade of Bermuda grass in his mouth until he reached KC and had to use a toothpick because they played on artificial turf. U L Washington lost his battle with cancer this morning at the age of 70. #RIP
@Thelscwxman @MLB @Royals Hopefully, the RedSox will post something today in recognition and appreciation for his years of minor league coaching for them
@Thelscwxman @MLB @Royals May he rest in peace
@Thelscwxman @MLB @Royals RIP to Mr. Washington. His brother and family were very nice people who lived in McAlester Oklahoma, and were thoughtful enough to be host families for some of our kids when we went to the junior Sunbelt tournament each summer. @NorCalBaseball
@Thelscwxman @TomDienhart1 @MLB @Royals Thought he might have been related to Claudell -- he wasn't.
@Thelscwxman @MLB @Royals Saw him play for Double-A when I first moved to JAX in 1981. #RIP
@Thelscwxman @MLB @Royals If you watched U.L. Washington and Lou Whitaker you had a leg up on knowing how to live life.❤️
@Thelscwxman @MLB @Royals #RIP as with UL not only his initials playing an high quality ss with a toothpick every inn that he ever played in. Also, with Frank White was solid on the dp and premier ss per say good ballplayer.
