Ned Yost

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edgar Frederick ("Ned") Yost (born August 19, 1954 in Eureka, California) is a former catcher in Major League Baseball and the current manager of the Milwaukee Brewers. Before being hired to manage the Brewers, Yost worked as a coach under Bobby Cox in the Atlanta Braves organization. Yost, as a player, was used primarily as a backup catcher for the Brewers from 1980 to 1983 (which included the 1982 World Series), and then spent a year with the Texas Rangers (1984) and the Montreal Expos (1985) before retiring.

Prior to the 2005 MLB All-Star Game, National League manager Tony La Russa named Yost to be part of his coaching staff for the game.

Yost briefly enjoyed a second career as a taxidermist in Jackson, Mississippi in between his playing days and coaching days.
