Royals Manager Ned Yost Breaking Bricks

That's one way to fire up the troops.

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost, perhaps sensing that players training in Surprise, Arizona need exactly that, took a break from the typical Spring Training routine to smash things. And not just any old things. Cement blocks. Four of them, in fact.

No, Ned Yost won't let #Royals pitchers do what he did: "I can handle all the feats of strength myself." #RoyalsST https://t.co/3VQjL9k1aB

The stunt was part of a presentation by motivational speaker Donnie Moore. According to Moore's website, attendees at his speeches "break bricks and bats, bend steel bars, rip phone books in half, and share a life changing message of hope!"

Yost, who turned 60 during the team's championship run last season, says he's done stunts like this before. "Nothin' to it," he said.
