This is the Michael K show podcast. Listen live weekday afternoon starting at three on

98.7 ESPN in New York, the ESPN app, the two-minute app, or on your smart speaker.

Hey Alexa, play 98.7 ESPN.

I witness news. I just tweeted out that right now the air quality in New York City is the worst

it's been since the 1960s. So we are waiting to see if Major League Baseball is in fact

going to postpone this game. Supposedly meeting with both teams. I don't exactly know

what is the delay. I don't know how they could play in this and for the fans and for the

player itself. But we are monitoring this. Boone's going to talk soon as soon as he tells us

what's going on. We will relay it to you. But I want to do the intro again, Don, because I think

of all of our guests, Mike would appreciate hearing it more than others. Am I right, Don?

Very much so. This man is a legend. That's all there is to it. In the history of newspapers,

he's one of the finest colonists of all time, anywhere, anywhere, and not just sports,

anywhere. And he has graced us with his presence today. And that is the great, Mike Lupica. Mike,

how are you doing? Can I use that for my phone? That's your ringtone? No, he doesn't want to hear it.

No, yeah, I mean, just when I'm away and they can't get me because they're supposed to be who

can because I just look at the number and then I don't answer, except of course for you, Michael.

But if those people that they could hear that introduction, it would ease the pain of me not

picking up a phone. It's a great point. It's a great point by you. I'll add that to it, too.

Before we even get into the live golf, Mike, are you shocked that Major League Baseball is waiting on

this and not calling this? I know you're in the area right now. You see what's going on in the sky.

What's the hold up? You know, my son didn't even want to walk his five month old son outdoors

and Connecticut today, Michael. So that's how bad it is. I really, that was really spooky.
