Breaking news : While calling NBA game, Yankee announcer Ryan Ruocco questioned Aaron Boone’s World Series strategy
Ryan Ruocco was on the call for Friday night’s NBA game between the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers, calling the game for ESPN. One of Ruocco’s other gigs became part of the broadcast during the game.
Ruocco also calls MLB games for the New York Yankees on the YES Network. The Yankees, like Russo, were in Los Angeles on Friday, taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series. That game ended on a walk-off grand slam from Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman. After Freeman’s game-winning grand slam was shown on the video board at crypto.com Arena, the ESPN broadcast showed the reaction of Suns guard Bradley Beal.
