ANAHEIM, Calif.—The Los Angeles Angels hired Ron Washington to be their new manager Wednesday, Nov. 8, turning to a veteran baseball mind in an attempt to end nearly a decade of losing.

The 71-year-old Washington became the majors’ oldest current manager and only the second active Black manager, joining Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
