Through the years, there have been many great hitters that have came through the ranks of Major League Baseball.
However, very few of them have been able to do what the men on this list have accomplished in their respective careers. I decided to take a look at what I believe are the five greatest hitters to ever stop foot on a baseball diamond to this day.
Royals manager Trey Hillman has just been relieved of his duties, effective immediately. Ned Yost will take over as the new manager to replace Hillman. Hillman’s record was 151-206 in his two-plus seasons as the head guy in Kansas City.
He had been in hot water for quite some time after the team once again to off to a slow start to the 2010 season, winning 12 out of their first 35 games.
The firing of Hillman continues the revolving door of managers that the Royals have had in recent years.
His two predecessors, Buddy Bell and Tony Pena, only lasted a combined seven seasons with the club.
On the other hand, new manager Ned Yost brings a lot of experience to the organization and team as he used to manage the Milwaukee Brewers from 2003 to 2008.
More on this breaking news story to come in the near future.
