Washington reveals reason for his resignation
Former Rangers manager Ron Washington said Thursday that his resignation earlier this month was due to marital infidelity.

Washington, 62, said he "was not true" to his wife, Gerry, and apologized to her in remarks at a news conference held at a Dallas hotel.

"I made a mistake, and I'm embarrassed, more than I've ever been in my life," he said. "I don't run when I make a mistake. When you put yourself in situations, you own it.

"I was not true to my wife. After 42 years, I broke her trust. I'm here today to own that mistake and to apologize to her and to those I disappointed."

Washington, 62, resigned on Sept. 5 after nearly eight full seasons as Rangers manager. His teams won American League pennants in 2010 and 2011.

The former infielder spoke in even tones, did not provide details and did not take questions from reporters. He said he would like to work again in baseball.

"I'm sorry for breaking the trust that I had with my wife," Washington said. "And for disappointing my players, disappointing my coaches, disappointing Major League Baseball and disappointing the Texas Rangers. I ask for your forgiveness and your understanding."

Well unless it was discovered by a tabloid or reporter & about to be splashed all over why call a press conference & admit that?

That's not something I would want my husband announcing to the world. I'm sure the Rangers would keep his confidence.

Just leave it as it was..the guy needed some time off for whatever reason.

If you let it happen it's NOT a mistake.

It's something else...

WE assume he was unfaithful. But the only words he used were that he broke his wife's trust. You don't quit a high profile like that for cheating. You get separated. You get divorced. You make a public apology. You don't quit your job.

Jmo, it was something else.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

The very first sentence in the OP specifically says marital infidelity. It says Ron Washington says it was due to that.

But those weren't Washington's words. That was the writer's interpretations of Washington's words "I was not true to my wife". More than likely Washington did indeed cheat on his wife, but there is a small possibility that "I was not true to my wife" could mean something else. I think it means he cheated.

the only explanation for putting Darren Oliver on the mound.

I don't know how what he said could be interpreted any other way than he obviously cheated on her.

Cheating is bad enough to most spouses, but what if it was more than standard cheating with another woman.

What if he cheated and the other woman got pregnant and had or is having a child.

What if he cheated and got an STD and passed it on to his wife.

What if he cheated...with a family member of the wife (sister, cousin, niece)

What if he cheated...with a man.

What if he cheated with another person, in his and his wive's house and BED.

What if he cheated and the other person stole a large amount of money or was going to blackmail for a large amount of money.

There are some things that would make a spouse even more upset than just a standard cheating.
