Former third baseman Eddie Yost had a solid playing career with the Washington Senators, Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles. When his playing career ended in 1962, he began his 23-year coaching career under his former teammate Mickey Vernon with Senators in 1963. Yost managed one game when Vernon was replaced by Gil Hodges. This would be his only stint as a manager, but Yost carved out a solid coaching career that saw him continue his partnership with Hodges when he joined the Mets and Yost eventually joined the Boston Red Sox and served as third base coach under Don Zimmer and Ralph Houk from 1978-1984.
