Major League Baseball Doesn't Hate the Apple Watch After All

A big swing and a bigger miss from MLB.

This is Kansas City Royals Manager Ned Yost.

Yost has always been known as a man of the people. He was a catcher for the New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers in the late ’70s and through the ’80s. Once his playing days were over, he went right into coaching where his career hit its pinnacle last year as he led the Royals to the World Series.

For his exploits, he was given a snazzy Apple Watch to replace his busted Timex (and we’ll get to that later).

This week, Yost was spanked by Major League Baseball for wearing such a technological gadget.
