My favorite line from this obituary is "One opposing manager fined his pitchers $25 for each walk given up to Mr. Yost but had to stop the practice when his pitching staff ended up hundreds of dollars in debt."If getting on base is what is important than Eddie was one of the greats. sadly though that team had very few guys who could drive him home.
