Phillies likely looking at A-Rod in the TV booth for potential playoff series

HOUSTON — If the Philadelphia Phillies win the third and final Wild Card spot in the National League, Alex Rodriguez will be the color commentator for a best-of-three playoff series in St. Louis.

Michael Kay — the TV voice of the New York Yankees — will be the play-by-play announcer for the series, according to Rob Tornoe of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Kay has teamed up with Rodriguez on the “KayRod Cast” this year, an alternate Sunday Night Baseball telecast inspired by the success of Peyton and Eli Manning’s “Manningcast.”

The series — which would air on ESPN, ESPN 2 and ABC — would also include Alden Gonzalez as the dugout reporter.
