Paul O’Neill was in the YES booth for the first time this season on Monday. But he wasn’t actually in the booth.
The former Yankees right fielder called the 3-0 loss to the Blue Jays over a monitor from home in Ohio while Michael Kay and David Cone were in the Bronx. This happened because O’Neill is unvaccinated, according to The New York Post’s Andrew Marchand.
The larger issue involves O’Neill’s COVID-19 vaccine status. O’Neill is not vaccinated, according to sources.
The Post obtained documents sent to employees saying that YES personnel had to have proof of vaccination by Jan.
