Bob Sheppard is the famous voice behind the New York Yankees and New York Giants during the days of Pepper Johnson, Leonard Marshall...and Taylor. Here is Bob Sheppard announcing the starting lineup between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox at the old Yankee Stadium.
Bob Sheppard was also added to the row of plaques with the rest of the Hall of Fame New York Yankees in the outfield at Yankees Stadium. For today, we can put our differences aside with Yankee fans and send them our condolences on the loss of a famous voice and a hero in their franchises history. May the road rise up to meet you...
Thanks to Jeffrey Putman for the photo of Bob Sheppard's plaque.
