Coaching Career
After a brief stint as a playing coach with the 1962 Angels, Yost returned to Washington as the third-base coach of the second Senators franchise, under his old teammate, manager Mickey Vernon. When Vernon was replaced by Gil Hodges, Yost briefly served as interim manager, losing his only game as manager. Yost then continued on Hodges' Washington staff through 1967. When Hodges became manager of the New York Mets in 1968, he took Yost with him to New York. Yost was the Mets' third-base coach from 1968 to 1976. He then continued his coaching career with the Boston Red Sox, coaching third in Boston from 1977 to 1984.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
