Claudell Washington steals home. Roger Clemens does weird things with his hands after.

R.I.P., Claudell Washington, who died at 65 after battling illness in recent years. Spent six seasons with the #Braves and was an All-Star for them in 1984 when he hit .286 with 17 homers, 21 steals and a career-best .842 OPS.

Godspeed to Claudell Washington, who hit .275 for the #Mets and .277 for the #Yankees and is probably in the Top 10 of the 135 players (136 if and when Dellin Betances plays in Queens) who’ve spent time for both (an admittedly thin list).

Former MLB player Claudell Washington has died at age 65. Truth be told, I recall no specific playing highlights from his career. That said, I do remember Claudell & former Braves teammate Rafael Ramirez appeared often in my mid-1980s baseball card packs. #RIPClaudellWashington

Former Braves, Yankees outfielder Claudell Washington dies at 65 Missed this one earlier in the day. He didn’t even play high school baseball and had a long major league career with some notable accomplishments. RIP

Sad to hear the news. Claudell… played for 7 teams-guarantee he was a teammate/clubhouse favorite on each team he played for. Thankful for the chance to be teammates in #ATL. Key part of our early 80s

I love Claudell Washington! Clutch, strong arm, fearless, and classy. Part of my childhood was watching C-Dubs on TBS. Dangerous combo of raw speed & sneaky power. Loved when CW charged Mound on Mario Soto. Great Brave who will be remembered. RIP C-Dubs! You’re a Winner.

Claudell Washington, who played 17 seasons in MLB, has died at the age of 65. His memory will live on in a movie. The highlight of his foul ball in the 11th inning of a Braves-Cubs game on June 5, 1985 was used in a movie. Yes, Ferris Bueller caught it on his day off.

Super Sky Point to Claudell Washington, a two-time All-Star and a mainstay of those very good early 80s Braves teams I watched religiously on SuperStation WTBS. #RIP pic.twitter.com/GX7wIEEDUk

RIP Claudell Washington. 17 seasons, 7 teams, one World Series ring with the 1974 A’s, All-Star in 1975 with the A’s and 1984 with the Braves.
My favorite Claudell story. When all of Nolan Ryan’s strikeouts were compiled, Claudell was the batter he owned the hardest, 19 Ks. pic.twitter.com/t4zOoMDX8r
