In his 31 years as a Yankees’ broadcaster, Michael Kay has painted himself into a corner that his fame and fortune cannot escape or reconcile.
In his 31 years as a Yankees’ broadcaster, Michael Kay has created for himself a steady dilemma. He has painted himself into a corner that his fame and fortune cannot escape or reconcile.
He not only ignored Stanton’s latest flagrant disregard for running with even a moderate eagerness to reach first base — despite his $325 million contract, running to first base has become optional during the Brian Cashman/Aaron Boone Era — Kay was eager to excuse him by again playing his know-better audience as a gaggle of cornfed rubes in from Chillicothe, Ohio.
Instead of even suggesting that Stanton too often puts the Yanks at risk of losing because he doesn’t do the very least he can — in the one-game playoff game lost to the Red Sox at Fenway Park two years ago, Stanton posed a double off the wall into a single — Kay excused Stanton with regional topography:
In August, 2016, with his Marlins in the hunt for a playoff spot, Stanton was injured then disabled for a month when he presumed his fly to right would be caught.So, late in a one-run game, he jogged to first. When the ball was dropped he turned it on for second. Too late. He was tagged out well short of the base, wrecking his groin with an awkward slide.
