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.Sean Walters wroteFormer 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
