Although an Illinois native, Yount grew up in California and attended Woodland Hills’ William Howard Taft High School. His professional baseball journey commenced when he was drafted as the third pick in the 1973 Major League Baseball draft by the Milwaukee Brewers, making his debut in April 1974. Consistent improvement in his batting skills led to his selection for his first MLB All-Star Game and receipt of a Silver Slugger Award in 1980, contributing significantly to his net worth.
The 1982 season proved to be a breakthrough for Yount, securing his position as the league’s hits leader with 210 hits, resulting in a Gold Glove Award, another All-Star appearance, and another Silver Slugger Award. Notably, he was named the Most Valuable Player of the season and led his team to their only World Series appearance in franchise history. These accomplishments significantly contributed to Yount’s overall fortune.
In 1989, Yount received his second Most Valuable Player Award and signed a three-year extension contract with the Brewers worth $9.6 million. Following his retirement from professional playing in October 1993, his jersey number, 19, was retired by the Milwaukee Brewers. In 1995, Yount was inducted into the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame, further enhancing his fame and wealth.
During his 19-year playing career, Yount set numerous franchise records, with some remaining unbeaten to this day. His statistics include 251 home runs, averaging .285 at-bat, scoring 1632 runs, and completing 11,008 at-bats. Currently ranked 17th on the Major League’s all-time hit chart, he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999.
Post-retirement, Yount remained active in baseball, serving as the Diamondbacks’ first coach from 2002 to 2004 and then as the Brewers’ third coach in 2005. Since 2014, he has been the bench coach and spring training special instructor for the Brewers.
Yount has been married to his high school sweetheart, Michelle Edelstein, since 1979, with whom he has four children. Apart from baseball, he is also an enthusiastic motorsports enthusiast.
