Baseball season is finally here and fans are excited to see their favorite teams compete. As players pick up their bats and balls, people behind the scenes pick up their mics. Baseball analysts, commentators, broadcasters – everyone is back in business. One such hosting duo is Alex Rodriguez and Michael Kay, who is back for another season with their program Kay-Rod Cast.
While Kay-Rod Cast originally started as an alternative to the Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, it quickly became popular among most fans. Some have even compared Kay-Rod Cast to the Manning Cast, the football show hosted by former NFL superstars – brothers Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. The cheerful banter and genuine love of the sport they’re discussing are evident in both shows, so perhaps it’s an apt comparison. Now Kay-Rod Cast is back in action for the 2023 edition.

When on a public platform of any sort, it’s easy to understand that there will always be someone out there that is hard to please. Michael Kay comprehends that better than most. Since A-Rod is a former Yankee and Kay is the current voice of the Pinstripes, it’s understandable why some think their show is biased.
