Bob Sheppard 2000 - Bob Sheppard Day Ceremony Pt 2, 5/7/2000

Bob Sheppard (10/20/1910-7/11/2010). This is the second part of Bob Sheppard Day. This tribute video was produced by Mike Bonner and the NY Yankees and was played on the Yankee Stadium Diamondvision during this second part of the tribute to Bob Sheppard celebrating his 50th season as Yankee Stadium PA announcer.

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 all fellow Sheppard fans.

The Pat Summerall of Public Address Announcing. Like Pat, it seemed like everything Bob said was legendary. I don't say this as a Red Sox Fan, I say as a Baseball Fan, that I miss Bob Sheppard.

First time I set foot in Yankee Stadium was in 1976 and the first thing I remember was hearing this voice that sounded super human. That was Bob Shepherd.  No game will ever be the same again without him.
