Royals manager Ned Yost has credited a cell phone with being the reason he is alive today. After a horrific fall from a tree stand at his farm in Georgia following the 2017 season, Yost’s pelvis was shattered and he was unable to get help.
Fortunately, he was able to use his cell phone to call his wife, Deborah, who had left the farm. She called 911 and returned to help him. Yost was airlifted from his property and had emergency surgery.
Yost believes he would have bled to death if he didn’t have cell service that day.
