I’m not sure if this has been documented or not, but our beloved Ron Washington has a striking resemblance to a 1980’s sitcom star George Jefferson (Sherman Hensley). I haven’t heard many in the Dallas SPORTS community making the comparison, but in this writers opinion, its a striking similarity. Since the beginning of the Wash’s introduction as manager of the Texas Rangers, each and every time I see him I’m brought back to the mid 1980’s watching reruns of “The Jefferson’s” right before dinner. It’s a combination of the balding fro and the mustache I think.

And speaking of Wash, with the recent success (compared to recent years) the Rangers are having, a former owner evidently is jumping on the bandwagon. It also appears that Josh Hamilton isn’t the only other Ranger to be on the front cover of a magazine lately, evidently TV Guide is running a retro cover with our beloved Manager:

Ok, maybe its a stretch, but let’s hope that just like George Jefferson, Wash and the Rangers can continue to say they’re “movin’ on up” in the standings. Queue the Norm dad joke.
