… is on the passing of Bob Sheppard, the Yankees’ unparalleled PA announcer.
Received an e-mail last night from B.J. Schecter, my editor. Asked if I’d be willing to write something on Sheppard. Thought about being a kid, going to Yankee games and hearing his voice. It meant something to me, in the same way Phil Rizzuto’s did. Different ends of the spectrum, but both soundtracks to my youth.
RIP.
