After a brief stint as a playing coach with the '62 Angels, Yost returned to Washington as the third-base coach of the second Senators franchise, under his old teammate, Mickey Vernon. When Vernon was replaced by Gil Hodges, Yost briefly served as interim manager (losing his only game as manager) and then continued on Hodges' Washington staff through 1967. Moreover, when Hodges became manager of the New York Mets in 1968, he took Yost with him. Eddie served nine seasons (1968-76) as the Mets' third-base coach, through good times (NL championships in 1969 and 1973 and the "Amazin' Mets'" world title in '69) and bad (Hodges' sudden death from a heart attack in 1972). Yost then continued his coaching career with the Boston Red Sox for another eight seasons (1977-84).
