Get well, Bob Shepherd
All Is Well: The Voice Is Coming Back - The TimesI just learned the voice of Yankee Stadium, Bob Shepherd, is not well and will not be back until mid-season at the earliest. I hope so. I'm supposed to go up there during the summer and I cannot imagine not hearing Shepherd over the loudspeaker. He's been there since 1951 when Joe DiMaggio played his last year and Mickey Mantle his first.
Not ever wanting to ever be introduced by anyone else other than Shepherd at Yankee Stadium, Derek Jeter arranged for a recording to be used. Who can blame him? Shepherd is on the Mount Rushmore of voices with John Facenda and James Earl Jones.
Who else should be on the great voices Mt. Rushmore?
New York Yankees, Bob Shepherd, Derek Jeter
