all Great NBA People have 3 things in common:
1. Love of the game
2. deep kindness
3. A sincere hatred of Karl Malone

that era of coach who started as players from the nba’s true fighting days really was great.

Michael Kay used the iconic Bucky Dent Home Run call when George Lombard Jr. hit one over the head of Mike Yastrzemski, the grandson of Carl Yastrzemski.

"Yastrzemski will not get it, it's a home run!"

[The Yankee Report @YankeeReport_]

What a day for the homegrown Yankees

Ben Rice - 1/4, HR

George Lombard - 2/3, HR

Spencer Jones - 2/3, 3B

The future is here.

[Yankees Stats @ChrisCoop_]

This lineup was truly unbelievable back then. What made them special was how dynamic they were. They didn't rely on any one thing at the plate to score runs.

The 2009 Yankees were so beyond absurd, they ranked:

Hits: 1st
2Bs: 3rd
HRs: 1st (lead by 20!)
Contact%: 2nd
Chase%: 2nd
K%: 2nd / BB%: 4th
wRC+: 1st (117!!)

And it wasn't just three-four good hitters carrying this lineup in every metric. The entire WS lineup was unbelievably well rounded and held their own weight 1-9.

3. Teixeira 16.6% Whiff .273 ISO .383 OBP
4. A-Rod 22.0% Whiff .245 ISO .402 OBP
5. Posada 20.0% Whiff .238 ISO .363 OBP

It's going to sound silly because they're known as one of the best offenses of all time so obviously a Yankees fan would want to watch a team like this again...but I'd like to see the org become more dynamic in their offensive philosophy again. A lot of great teams that have led in a lot of offensive areas in recent years have been very dynamic in their balance of quality of contact, plate discipline, and contact. It's why I was such a fan of that 2025 Jays lineup and why I love this 2026 Dodgers lineup.

A guy like Luis Garcia Jr helps with that

[That’s Baseball, Suzyn @Thats_BB_Suzyn]

Bad take. Kay’s appeal isn’t the energy of his voice.

If you want a generic broadcaster who gets you amped up for a home run, sure maybe I could see the case for Rucco, although I would still disagree.

What Kay brings to the microphone his background in journalism. No one in the business is better at telling the story behind the at-bat, or connecting present moments to Yankees history, in real time as the game unfolds.

This isn’t a coincidence. Kay was the Yankees beat writer for over a decade in the 80s and 90s. Worked for the Post and Daily News, the pinnacle of local sports writing.

To my knowledge, he the only first chair play by play guy working in baseball today with that kind of background. Usually that kind of experience turns you into “The guy on the field.” Think Ken Rosenthal.

And, yes, it’s also his Bronx accent. There’s something special about hearing a Yankees game called by a guy who grew up as a kid in the Bronx in the 60s and 70s (including back when the team stank, between the Mantle and Reggie eras). That was part of the appeal of Vin Scully, too, back when the Dodgers were in Brooklyn. Having a local guy call games feels authentic, not generic.
