Much has been made about a potential Yankees and American League record-breaking home run hit by Aaron Judge on AppleTV+, and a caller on Boomer & Gio wondered if the game being on a lesser platform could alter than Yankees approach to the game.
“I’m just curious if anyone would consider sitting Judge on Friday because the majority of people are not gonna be able get to the game. Whether you’re going to a bar — my father, my father-in-law — AppleTV is way beyond their scope of getting it,” the caller said. “And they watch every game all year long. Do you think they’d even consider the idea of having him sit out Friday night so most Yankee fans can see it?”
“Absolutely not,” Esiason said.
“No way,” Giannotti continued. “You have plenty of time to figure this out. Plenty of time. And by the way, it’s free. I know you have to sign up and you gotta create an account, but it’s free to watch the Yankee game on AppleTV+.”
“Assuming that you have a smart TV, or an AppleTV, or you have a Roku, there’s a lot of people that don’t have that,” Esiason countered.
Major League Baseball has confirmed the game will continue to air on AppleTV+ after calls to move it to a different outlet. The Yankees other games this week while Judge chases the franchise and American League record for home runs in a single season will air on YES Network, MLB Network, FOX, and ESPN.
