Bob Sheppard 1988 - Interview with Frank Casey of INN-WPIX, 4/5/1988

Bob Sheppard (10/20/1910- 7/11/2010), voice of Yankee Stadium for 57 seasons is interviewed by Frank Casey of INN-WPIX at Yankee Stadium on Opening Day 1988. Bob was a genuinely admirable human being and a gentleman of the old school who represented a bygone era of aspiration and dignity. The sacred eloquence that Bob's work represented and epitomized has now officially past. He was a credit to his faith, his family, his friends, and to sports. He possessed unrivaled character, integrity, courage, and class. How lucky I was to even know this exceptional man since his sterling influence on my life echoed through to my very heart and soul. I shall miss him terribly. We shall all miss the magnificent Robert Leo Sheppard

Thank you Sheppard fans!!
