Shinjirarenai! Has there ever been a profession where the Peter Principle is more prevalent than baseball? Politics, maybe? Professional football coaches?
As hard as it is to believe, 2010 was 12 years ago. The KC Royals were celebrating their 42nd season and the 25th anniversary of the club’s (then) only World Series win, and the team gained a new manager in May when Ned Yost took over from Trey Hillman.
MLB fans might remember Hillman best for his time as Royals skipper from 2008-10 — a stretch of three lean seasons that preceded the team’s rise to prominence under successor Ned Yost.
