Today in 1951: The A's released Herb Washington, the only designated runner in MLB history. He was a world class sprinter who appeared in 105 games as a pinch runner in 1974-75. He stole 31 bases and scored 33 runs. He never had a plate appearance. After his release, he owned 29 McDonald's restaurants, which at the time, made him the African-American franchisee running the most McDonald's outlets in the U.S. Washington then went on to become a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. #MLB #baseball #Athletics @McDonalds
