Having your jersey number retired by the Kansas City Royals is a very prestigious honor. In fact, only four players/managers have ever been on the receiving end of that distinction. Following the end of a 10-year run with the team, it’s time to decide whether or not Ned Yost should join that list.
The short answer to this question is an emphatic yes. Whether you liked Yost or not, he collected more wins than any manager in Royals history and brought a championship back to Kansas City for the first time in 30 years.
