Diamondbacks infielder Craig Counsell, who group up in Whitefish Bay, Wis., said he remembered the days when Yost was a backup catcher on the Brewers' powerhouse teams of the early 1980s. He particularly recalls the big homer that Yost hit in a key victory against Boston.

"Like any Milwaukeean, that's probably your initial memory of Ned Yost," Counsell said. "I'll never forget it.

"I had one of his gloves as a kid. I still have it somewhere."
