A commercial for the Mets' flagship television network aired on the Yankees' flagship network during the Freeway Series, and one broadcaster didn't like it.
This week's Yankees-Mets series has elicited the usual trash talk from partisans on both sides of New York's interleague rivalry — even from a broadcaster.New York Yankees play-by-play man Michael Kay took issue Wednesday with a promotional spot for SNY, the Mets' flagship station, that ran on the Yankees' YES Network. Speaking on The Michael Kay Show on WEPN-FM in New York, Kay called out a commercial for claiming the Mets' broadcast team is 'the best booth in baseball.
At least the circumstances of the Subway Series explain the timing of the ad buy.But the substance of the commercial shouldn't be considered anything unusual. SNY isn't going to place an ad anywhere — let alone on YES — claiming it has the number-two broadcast team in New York City.The responses on social media to the Awful Announcing post were predictable, with many calling out Kay's sensitivity to what amounted to a very ordinary ad.
