For the task, he enlisted an elite recruiter \u2014 none other than legendary quarterback Tom Brady.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m having Tom Brady talk to her to try to convince her to go to Michigan,\u201d Rodriguez said, in a tone that suggested this was not anything out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, The Post asked Kay what accomplishment meant more to him: Becoming the Yankees\u2019 play-by-play broadcaster, or finally beating Mike Francesa in the ratings book after eons of competition?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, as it was brought up earlier, I\u2019m pretty competitive,\u201d Kay said. \u201cThat was something that I wanted to do, but I didn\u2019t even think I would have a talk show. I didn\u2019t know who Mike Francesa was when I was nine years old, and since I was nine years old growing up in the South Bronx, all I ever wanted to do was be the voice of the Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo reach that, when I walked into that booth on Friday for Opening Day, I never lose sight of that. I never forget how special it is, and every year I spend in that booth is an added gift. Although beating Mike Francesa was certainly gratifying and nice, nothing compares to having gotten the job that I dreamed about having since I was nine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cKayRod Cast\u201d debuts this Sunday, April 10 on ESPN2 for Yankees vs. Red Sox.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
