The Iron Man of stadium announcers. Bob Sheppard, passed away today.
Sheppard never too a swing, but his voice will haunt Yankee Stadium forever. He proved there could be poetry in a lineup card.
My friend Jay-roam did a column on him before he died, asking what the secret was to his distinctive style. "Very simple young man," he said in his sententious voice. "Enunciate."
EEE-none-seeeee-ate
A life directive if ever there was one.
