Eddie Yost - Coaching Career

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.
