Bob Sheppard Calls It A Career As Voice Of Yankee Stadium
"Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to Yankee Stadium."
Since 1951, Yankee fans have grown used to that call and many others from the voice of Bob Sheppard, whose announced on Friday that he would end his historic role as the voice of Yankee Stadium.
Sheppard, 99, has not done a Yankees game since 2007, skipping all of 2008, which was the final year at the old Yankee Stadium, and the 2009 World Championship season that ended a couple weeks ago.
Sheppard has been very ill since his last day as the Yankees P.A. announcer. He was replaced by Paul Olden who is the current Yankees P.A. announcer.
Yankee fans will miss his voice, which many had termed the "voice of God."
