Earlier in the year Bob Sheppard, the great Yankees PA announcer, and someone who should be in the Hall of Fame ASAP, told bustedhalo.com:
So my target date to be back is July 1. There is an All Star Game to be played at Yankee Stadium on July 15th and one of my goals is to be there and announce it. I did one years and years ago at Yankee Stadium but I can’t recall it. So now this would be something to remember. I do want to be there next year when we open a new Stadium. And I’d like to be the one who says, “Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen…Welcome to the NEW…Yankee Stadium.”
Bob, I hope we see you soon if not tonight, and wish you nothing but the best.
