New York Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay expressed his outrage on Wednesday over a claim made by the TV home of in-city rival New York Mets, SNY, that their broadcasting team is the best in baseball. The controversy began when SNY ran an ad during Kay's radio show touting their booth, which includes Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, and Ron Darling, as the best in the league. Kay, who has been a prominent voice for the Yankees, responded by asserting that he believes his team is the best. While Kay called the segment lighthearted, he also doubled down on his stance. The incident has sparked a debate among fans and commentators about which team's broadcast booth is superior.

When SNY ran an ad claiming the Mets’ TV booth as the best in town during Michael Kay's program, the Yankees broadcaster had to respond. "I think we’re the best booth in baseball." Kay called the segment lighthearted, but he also doubled down. More ⤵️ https://t.co/05jbnXORYa https://t.co/s2ArwcKQ2Y
Can the Yankees and Luis Gil bounce back tonight in Game 2 vs. Mets? @TikiBarber #SubwaySeries https://t.co/ASY0h5d7VW
Hysterical, @RealMichaelKay is upset that @SNYtv is advertising that Cohen, Hernandez & Darling are best booth in baseball on his radio show. I am a @Yankees fan who thinks Kaye, O’Neill, Cone do a good job but @Mets crew is outstanding.

Michael Kay, whining about SNY running ads that Gary, Keith and Ron are the best booth in baseball. This is wildly lame and insecure. https://t.co/K7gxrxnjth
Big Yankee fan and I’ve grown up listening to Michael Kay. He’s great. But this is an insane gripe. By acknowledging it at all, you invite comparisons and open the door to get dunked on — especially considering the fact is that SNY’s booth is objectively better. Bad call here. https://t.co/pRySkLRON7
Michael Kay is very upset at SNY saying Gary, Keith and Ron are the best in baseball. https://t.co/W7cY8nxlhA
