REASONS FOR ROYALS FANS TO BE THANKFUL – NED YOST IS OKAY
Royals fans had scary news a few weeks ago when manager Ned Yost fell out of a tree while hunting and broke his pelvis. He was okay, but we learned about a week later just how severe it was.
Ned Yost is back at home after his horrific fall that shattered his pelvis. He told me, “There’s no doubt I would have bled out if I didn’t have my cellphone with me. There was nobody that was coming. Nobody would have found me. I would have been dead by nightfall.”

This is really scary to hear about and it’s a good thing that Yost had his cell phone on him! We all know he’s a tough guy so he’ll pull through and be back by spring training, but damn… Definitely puts things into perspective for sure.
Since Yost joined the Royals in 2010, he’s experienced a lot of success with the organization. The Royals have had three winning seasons, made it to the World Series twice, and won the World Series in 2015.
Yost probably has one more year left as the Royals manager and we should all be thankful for that because it sounds like his fall could have been catastrophic.
