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.

NEW: Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was spotted attending Coachella with his girlfriend, Katy Perry.
The 54-year-old former prime minister was seen wearing a white shirt and a backward hat.

Wild.
@AsplundPete@NFL_DovKleiman I’ve never known one fan of Rugby League or Rugby Union refer to their sport as Rugby Football. In Australia, AFL and League are known as “footy” and all the toffs who follow Union refer to their game as Rugby.
@NFL_DovKleiman It’s called American Football.
There are other sports like Rugby Football, Aussie Rules Football… all respecting their origins by their names.
Wow: President Donald Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport named football.
"This is football, there is no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."
