Kay Criticizes SNY Over Best Booth Claim

The longstanding Subway Series rivalry between the New York Yankees and the New York Mets has extended to their broadcast booths. Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay expressed his indignation over an SNY advertisement claiming the Mets' booth is the best in baseball, which aired during his show. Kay staunchly defended his team, comprising Paul O’Neill, David Cone, and himself, against the Mets' booth of Gary Cohen, Ron Darling, and Keith Hernandez. During a rain delay in the Mets' 12-2 victory over the Yankees, the SNY broadcasters humorously responded to Kay's comments, with Keith Hernandez joking about the 'best rain in Major League Baseball.' The debate underscores the intensity of the inter-city rivalry, now reflected in their respective broadcasting teams.
