My dad went to some Yankees games in the late 60's and can remember his voice echoing, "And now bating bating bating.... number seven seven seven, Mickey Mickey Mickey, Mantle Mantle Mantle...."
Hilarious---they are giving an award to Con Ed...6 days before the blackout of '77. Bob Sheppard was the Voice of God, and that was a great era to be a Yankees fan, brought back a lot of memories.
I remember watching Yankees games growing up in Detroit and the games I watched from Yankee stadium I used to love it because hearing Bob Sheppard as a kid gave me goosebumps. When he would speak I used to think if we could hear Jesus talk he would sound like Bob Sheppard.
This guy’s voice is legendary!! I only can go back as far as 90’ bc of my age lol. Donny Baseball, Kelly both P & R, Nokes, Hall, and Sax to name a few! Miss old Yankee Stadium.
This brings back memories. I lived in the Bronx then and I grew up in Yankee Stadium it seemed. I grew up in the late 70's and 80's. My childhood was centered around Reggie, Thurman, Randolph, Pinella, Mattingly, Righetti and Windfield.
What, Reggie batting sixth? Also, Rick Waits, the Indians' starting pitcher in this game, beat the Yankees in the last game of the 1978 regular season to force the AL East playoff between the Yankees and Red Sox. Bob belongs in the Hall of Fame.....always a pleasure to hear his sterling voice. By the way the Yankees won this game 8-2. Piniella homered and Catfish was the winning pitcher.
Reggie batting sixth lmao. Billy was nearly fired during this month in 1977 and did get shitcanned a year later for the same kind of cynical interference. He benched Jax for the deciding ALCS 77 game and the Yanks were dead until Jax got an at bat and RBI that started the comeback in 8th. Yanks won despite Martin not because of him.
Martin’s firing in 1978 had far more to do with the comments he made about George and Reggie, not the fact that every once in a while Reggie wouldn’t bat fourth and play right field. As to the last thing you said about Billy, on some level that was true. He had a far more positive influence in 1976. But Reggie does deserve some of the blame as to why they couldn’t get along.
The voice of God. No one can replace him. Jeter demanded he be announced by Bob on tape after Bob died.
I thought that John Facenda was the Voice of God...

This is gold, thank you very much!
I was at MSG that night, watching Emerson Lake & Palmer. The Works Tour. The four 7's make it easy to remember!
6 days before the NYC Blackout
Awesome voice I remember so well!
He sounded so young and strong.
He was still just 66
Goosebumps

In Martins doghouse from day 1
He also had Nettles batting 8th which was shocking.

You're clueless, gil.
Do not speak again.
complete game in 2 hours and 12 min. baseball has lost its way
This isn't Bob Sheppard. Close though.
This is one hundred percent Bob Sheppard.
Well he actually sounds different since this is from the late 70s and not from the early mid and late 2000s
number six roy white number six
