I know there was discussion a few months ago about whether or not former Yankees player, manager, and general manager Lou Piniella would be joining Ken Singleton and Michael Kay in the booth, but Forbes SportsMoney is reporting that this is official. From @SportsMoneyBlog, “New York Yankees player, manager and general manager Lou Piniella has joined the YES Network as a special contributor.” He will be providing in-game analysis, as well as some studio work.
I don’t know about you, but I am excited about this. Sweet Lou has been around the game for so long that he will be bringing insight into each game the he’s a part of, that you will not get from anyone else. It’s a perfect fitting for a man who has had such a successful career as a player and manager, to come back to the Bronx where he is loved by all. I am definitely looking forward to his first broadcast… whenever that will be.
