Longtime Yankee PA announcer Bob Sheppard is going to retire...

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/1...ppard-retiring

I know he wasn't around the past two years.. but can you imagine working until you were 97??

It just wasn't a Yankee game without hearing his voice over the speakers..

"Now batting... number 2, shortstop Derek Jeter.. number 2..."

I hate the Yankees but Bob Sheppard is the first person that comes to mind when I think of "PA Announcer".

I hope he gets to enjoy his retirement. I know he's been having health issues.

Hate to see it when guys are snatched from the prime of their careers...

I had to think for a sec and remember John Facenda already passed away.
