The Royals announced today that former manager Ned Yost has been elected to the Royals Hall of Fame. The former manager has 746 wins with Kansas City, the most by any skipper in club history, and he led the team to pennants in 2014 and 2015, culminating in a title in 2015. He will be inducted before the September 2 game against the Boston Red Sox.
Yost was hired to run the Royals in the middle of the 2010 season, after spending six years leading the Milwaukee Brewers. His winning percentage improved in each of his first six seasons with the club, and in 2014 the team defeated the Oakland Athletics in one of the most memorable Wild Card games ever.
