Baseball and the Yankees lost Mr. Bob Sheppard on Sunday.  He was 99 years old and the Voice of the Yankees from 1951 to 2007.  Reggie Jackson referred to him as the “Voice of God”.

I enjoyed listening to him at countless games over the years.  Derek Jeter still uses a recording of Mr. Sheppard’s when he comes to the plate.  I last saw a greeting from him at the last game at Yankee Stadium in 2008.
