     Bob Sheppard came to the New York Yankees back in the year of 1951, he has announced baseball games from 1951 to the end of the 2007 year when he became ill.  Bob Sheppard announce many greats,  his impeccable introductions ranged  from Mickey Mantle to Joe DiMaggio to the present  Derek Jeter.  Even today every time Derek comes to home plate at Yankee Stadium Bob Sheppard still makes his introduction, because Jeter had his voice recorded to make his introduction as long as he remains a Yankee and is still playing.
     Bob Sheppard was believed to be 99 when he passed away this day,  Bob has become a very large part of the New York Yankees, he was just as big a part of the Yankees legend as any player, owner or even the building itself.  He will be remembered for decades to come.  Bob Sheppard will now introduce the many legends that are in heaven and waiting to hear him introduce them just as he did here on earth.
