Is this the same Michael Kay,millionaire, who requested of guests to make a minimum deposit of $750.00 in his account at Citibank????

He’s a good play by play for my team,the Yankees,but past that “low rent”, requesting money from people when you have millions is beyond words to explain….

Hey, Suzanna,
So, did you have fun this summer playing Bocce? I know we did. Your “family” team has been delightful. I wish we had more good weather to keep playing into December. I was happy that the kids were able to sub this season. I hope Bocce gave them a sense of their heritage. It is a unique way to bring a 15 year old together with an 80 year old and see a genuine relationship develop. Ahhhh, those 80 year olds , they can be vicious in the game of Bocce. Anyway, your team has done great. I’m proud that you guys joined the Roma League. By the way, you keep mentioning this guy Ken. After your great accomplishments on the Bocce court it begs the question, Ken Who??,

Great post, Ms Singy! Ken is my favorite YES announcer, a real professional with great insights into players, game situations and personalities. And, he’s got a voice that’s easy on the ears. When i hear Kenny will be doing a game, I know there will be at least one guy in the booth focusing on the game and providing astute observations. (And, BTW, you’re a wonderful blogger!)

Comment on Anatomy of a broadcaster’s briefcase by mark7ent

For those who think broadcasting a game is easy…a fantasy broadcast booth was available in the mid-late 90′s at YS II. You could have fun with it, or try to do it like a pro. In either case, the play by play was relatively easy, especially if you closely follow baseball. Trying to fill in the blanks is not, and that was only one inning. We had stat sheets and a few ancedotes about each player, which were provided for us. Tino Martinez allowed me the opportunity to call a three run homer in the first inning of a game against Cleveland in 1997, which was the highlight of the day. I remember when Michael Kay first started on radio, John gave him the mic for the 3rd inning, and I could hear the terror in his voice. Ask him if he remembers that. We all seem to take for granted the work that the broadcast teams do, but if you don’t put in the preparation, the end result will get you replaced. We appreciate and enjoy the hard work that you all do every day.

I agree that this is a GREAT article. I also enjoy Mrs. Singy’s blog, as well as her husband’s banter with Michael Kay on YES. I too have noticed the spitting recently and think it may be occuring more frequently than it has in the past. Cannot quite figure out why, but it certainly detracts from my otherwise positive opinion of the Yankee players. I even asked my husband the other day to explain why the players spit and his answer – “that’s just the way it’s done.” Great point also made about what the players do at home. Somehow I doubt that this nasty habit is carried over off the field and is tolerated by one’s wife, girlfiend or Mother.

Hi Mrs Singy,
First time I’ve responded to any blog, but I enjoy yours as much as I enjoy Ken’s commentary on YES and your feelings re spitting are totally in line with mine.
I’ve been watching the Yankees play baseball since ’52 on WPIX and I’m sure Mickey Mantle spit, but I never remember the disgusting act being as overdone as it is now. Of course, we didn’t have the close-up cameras they do today.
I, too, have wondered what they do at home. Have you noticed that they don’t spit as much when they chew gum as when they have those awful sunflower seeds. Why eat something you have to shell to taste?

Anyway, keep your blogs coming. I just discovered them and please tell Ken he’s the best partner Michael has.

Great article Mrs. Singy. I don’t know about baseball players, but when I’m nervous my mouth gets dry. I would want to conserve all the moisture within that I could!

I think spitting starts out when players are young, imitating their heroes. By the time they reach the big time and are on TV, it is just a plain habit that is tough for them to break, like fingernail biting or lip chewing. A little self-discipline would overcome this habit. Maybe some famous therapist will start a “spit-quit” clinic and travel to each clubhouse, rehabbing habitual expectorators.

Comment on Ma! You threw away my baseball cards? by buddywebster@comcast.net

Hi Suzanne: This made my day. My son (almost 21) had the entire collection of Star Wars toys, vehicles, etc. and they suffered the same fate as the above mentioned baseball cards. He hadn’t looked at them for years and I was sick of having my house look like the Toys R Us graveyard. Luckily, my husband had a few of the “really cool” space ships and some smaller figures hidden in the garage. More dumb luck than planning on his part! Maybe some day we will be on “Antiques Roadshow” and discover we have a small fortune in plastic. (and I will be Queen of England). Love your columns! Go Yankees ! From a Snippiteer in NJ,Paula
