    Life at Yankee Stadium ain’t the same without Bob Sheppard. He will always be a legend and will never be forgotten

    This video makes me sad. There was nothing better then hearing his voice over the PA in Yankee Stadium. RIP Bob Sheppard!!!

    I can still hear his voice from the 1960’s. “Batting fourth and playing center field, number seven, Mickey Mantle, number seven”.

    Everyone with any knowledge of sports history realizes Bob Sheppard was the best PA man ever. The mystery is why don't more announcers try to emulate his understated style instead of turning into screamers.

      Because....most of them, compared to Sheppard, aren't very good.

    As a lifelong Yankees fan, I can honestly say that his voice was so strong and fatherly.

    By the way, this reminds me of listening to the 1998 World Series. Gwynn had commented after the NLCS win that he looked forward to hearing his name announced by the legendary voice. So when the Padres made their first visit to Yankee Stadium, the radio announcers went silent to let Sheppard's first introduction of Tony Gwynn go through the airwaves. Chills, even at the time. A pair of true baseball men.

    Jon Miller does great impersonations. Bob Shepherd is probably the greatest PA announcer of all time. Also did the New York Giants football games. "Ball carried by Riggins.....tackled....by Carson......

      @dannyedelmanakacardguy422 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      slapshot68 yes in the beginning of his career but was moved to left field because he was not fast enough to pick people off

    • @garrylaing8197
      @garrylaing8197 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      In some games, the NYY played 3 catchers: Yogi in left, Elston Howard as catcher, and John Blanchard as the first baseman. I think this may have been in 1962 but my memory fades from time to time as this was 55 years ago.

      As Yogi aged he played more OF. Don't forget, he was left fielder for the '61 Classic team. Also, Elston Howard was too great to not have in the everyday lineup.

    Jeter is full of shit. Bob's funeral was held in the morning of a home stand weekday night game at Yankee Stadium. You want to know how many players on that roster in 2010 went to Bob S's funeral. ZERO. For those who would argue that it was too far away to attend, the service was held in Baldwin in Nassau County (just past the Queens border). They all have limo car services that could have easily driven them out of respect for Bob's family members. ZERO attended!

    It’s a good thing Derek Jeter could play baseball, because his skills as a voice impersonator are lacking.
