Yost happy to gift surgeon who saved his life

Not long after Mara Schenker, the surgeon who essentially put Royals manager Ned Yost’s pelvis back together after his horrific fall last November, found out what Yost did for a living, she had an idea: She wanted to come to a baseball game and to eat some of Kansas City’s world-renowned barbecue. Yost, who nearly died after that 20-foot fall from a tree stand on his property in Georgia, was more than happy to arrange the trip for Dr. Schenker and her surgical team.
