Ron Washington took greenies when he played

Not that it's shocking or anything, but he did say so to ESPN's Pedro Gomez today.
Washington's cocaine use is obviously big news, but mining the man's past like this seems of little utility. As Washington notes, "amphetamines were prevalent throughout baseball" during his tenure. More so than even cocaine. I suppose it's one thing if someone finds out that he used to do lines with Stevie Nicks in the late 70s or something because that would show that he was being less then genuine yesterday, but a ballplayer doing greenies in the 70s and 80s is pretty much dog-bites-man, no?
