Michael Kay was born in the Bronx and has lived the dream of being the New York Yankees announcer for the past thirty years—the first ten on radio and the last twenty with the YES Network. He’s also the host of one of the top-ranked radio shows in New York City, The Michael Kay Show on ESPN NY radio, as well as the Emmy Award–winning YES Network interview show CenterStage. Before he entered broadcasting, Michael was a writer with the New York Post and then the Daily News (New York). He lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, with his wife, television news anchor Jodi Applegate, and their two children.
