Are John Sterling and Michael Kay feuding?

John Sterling and Michael Kay have been two of the most prominent voices for the New York Yankees. However, it has been alleged that all's not well between the two veteran sportscasters.

According to WFAN radio host Craig Carton, Sterling and Kay were found to be feuding during the Yankees’ annual Homecoming Dinner.

Sources claim that Sterling was supposed to introduce Ron Marinaccio at the dinner which left Kay to introduce Aaron Judge. Unfortunately, due to a mix-up, Sterling introduced Judge instead, leaving Kay to finish with Marinaccio.

Some theories suggest that Sterling stole the limelight at the event by Judge. As a result, it was revealed that a significant rift had developed between him and Kay.

Carton late claimed that he was informed about Kay’s strong displeasure about the situation, describing him as “livid” and “ticked off beyond belief.”

However, many others who attended the event believe that it was an honest mistake by Sterling and the two sportscasters remain on good terms. There have been no confirmed reports that the pair have fallen out and neither Sterling nor Kay have spoken about the incident.

As things stand, a potential feud between Sterling and Kay seems to be untrue.

Sterling and Kay have reportedly feuded in the past as well but none of those claims have been trustworthy. During their time as co-commentators for the Yankees, each of them allowed the other to speak. While they didn't always agree on certain things, they treated each other with respect and as equals.
