ESPN's Sean McDonough sarcastically quips 'oh, what a shame' when told of Yankees rain delay

By Adam Gretz | Last updated 10/1/22

College football fans have had enough of ESPN and ABC cutting into their games to show live look-ins of Aaron Judge at-bats in his quest for 62 home runs.

It seems very likely that ESPN's Sean McDonough is over his own broadcasts being cut into as well.

When McDonough was informed on Saturday that the tarp was currently on the field at Yankee Stadium and their game was being delayed, meaning the Ole Miss-Kentucky broadcast would not be interrupted with a live cut-in for the time being, he sarcastically quipped, "Oh. What a shame."

Worth noting, of course, that McDonough used to be an announcer for the Yankees' primary rival, the Boston Red Sox. In the end, though, it is probably more about not wanting to have to step aside of his call to have another game take over. It is very understandable.
