All is not well between John Sterling and Michael Kay, the two most prominent voices for the New York Yankees. According to WFAN radio host Craig Carton, both sportscasters were found to be feuding during the Yankees’ annual Homecoming Dinner.

In his afternoon drive show on WFAN, Carton delivered this news, which took the New York sports media and the Yankees fans by surprise. He claimed that Michael Kay, who does the TV voice for the Bombers, and John Sterling, who does the radio voice, are now “at war” because of something that happened at a recent team event.

Corton cited one of his friends as the source. His friend went to the Yankees’ annual Homecoming Dinner last week. It was May 10. Both John Sterling and Michael Kay took turns introducing the Yankees’ team members. On opposite sides of the dais, they were doing their work, first John Sterling and then Michael Kay.

Toward the end of the presentation session, two players were left — Ron Marinaccio and Aaron Judge. John Sterling was to present Marinaccio and Michael Kay to go with the Yankees captain and MLB home-run record holder.

But John Sterling went off on his own and introduced Judge leaving Kay to present Marinaccio because of this. Carton claimed that this episode led to bad blood between the two most famous people in the Yankees’ booth and Kay had broken up because Sterling stole his spotlight on the radio.

Carton mentioned that he was informed about Michael Kay’s strong displeasure, describing him as “livid” and “ticked off beyond belief.” John Sterling had effectively preempted his own thoughts by stealing the opportunity to introduce Aaron Judge. As a result, it was revealed that a significant rift had developed between John Sterling and Michael Kay. The prevailing belief was that John’s actions were intentional.

If genuine and calculated, it was a gutsy move on Sterling’s part, which is likely to have more fallout in the coming days.
