eddie Yost is a former third baseman and longtime coach in Major League Baseball. He was signed by the Washington Senators as an amateur free agent in 1944 and never appeared in the minor leagues.
Nicknamed the "Walking Man" for the numerous bases on balls he would draw - he led the American League on six different occasions and logged 1,614 over his 18-year (1944; 1946-62) career, good for ninth place on the all-time list as of the end of 2005 - Yost batted and threw right handed. He played the bulk of his career with the "original" Senators, two seasons with the Detroit Tigers and two season with the Los Angeles Angels. He batted .254 with 139 home runs in 2,109 games.
After a brief stint as a playing coach with the '62 Angels, Yost returned to Washington as the third-base coach of the second Senators franchise, under his old teammate, Mickey Vernon. When Vernon was replaced by Gil Hodges, Yost briefly served as interim manager and then continued on Hodges' Washington staff through 1967. Moreover, when Hodges became manager of the New York Mets in 1968, he took Yost with him. Eddie served nine seasons (1968-76) as the Mets' third-base coach, through good times (NL championships in 1969 and 1973 and the "Amazin' Mets'" world title in '69) and bad (Hodges' sudden death from a heart attack in 1972). Yost then continued his coaching career with the Boston Red Sox for another eight seasons (1977-84).
