Bob Sheppard, longtime Yankee Stadium announcer, dies at 99 - ESPN New York
As a longtime Yankee fan (since my first trip to the old Stadium in'66) I thank you!!:upSorry to hear that Bob Sheppard the former New York Yankees Stadium public address announcer passed away.
I attended many a game back in the sixties at the old stadium, and his voice was part of the stadium’s ambiance.
Sorry guys, I know that not many of you are Yankee fans.:tux:

It was just too bad that not a single player whose name Sheppard introduced, ever so properly and eloquently, over 57 years as the Yankees' P.A. announcer, was among those paying their final respects to the "Voice of God." Even if one player - certainly one among the former players employed by the team for this very purpose - would have shown up, it would have provided the touch of class George Steinbrenner always made sure to exhibit in these circumstances.
This is amazing that not a single player, past or present, attended Sheppard's funeral:
Yankee players a no-show at Sheppard's funeral, an act George Steinbrenner wouldn't have stood for
