Royals manager Ned Yost’s cameo in Verizon commercial is a preview of what’s to come

A number of eagle-eye television viewers caught a glimpse of Royals manager in a Verizon commercial over the weekend.

Yost appears for less than a second, but he’s clearly smiling and perhaps laughing in the advertisement.

This is not a random occurrence.

Steve Van Dinter, a public relations manager for Verizon, wrote in an email: “It’s basically a teaser to a larger nationwide campaign we’ll be kicking off soon.”

It’s possible that Yost will be talking about how first responders saved his life in 2017 after he fell from a tree stand on his farm in Georgia.
