It is with deep sadness that the New York Yankees announce the passing of longtime public address announcer Bob Sheppard – “The Voice of Yankee Stadium.” Sheppard passed away this morning at his home in Baldwin, N.Y., with his wife, Mary, by his side. He was 99 years old. www.yankees.com
Our Instinct: Our deepest condolences go out the Sheppard Family and the Yankees. A living legend and piece of baseball history passes on, but his voice will live forever in the memories of this Yankees fan and many many others. Rest in Peace Mr. Sheppard.
