I guess he’s never coming back. Really sad. I guess that’s just life.

The Yanks have already hosted Bob Sheppard Day. The man even has a plaque in Monument Park.

Id love to see him come back so the crowd can give him a big hand. If he cant come back we need a bob Shepard day the man deserves it.

There was an article a while back about getting him into a studio and recording him speaking for a few hours and then using all sorts of computer technology I fail to understand, they’d be able to splice together any name so that his voice could essentially announce every game forever even if he weren’t in attendance or even after he passes. A little creepy, but I found it interesting.

Beating pneumonia at any age > 70 or so is a major accomplishment. I’m glad he’s doing better whether or not he ever announces again.

Cant he do it remotely? We have the technology.

I want to wish Mr.Sheppard the best of health…Hopefully he will be able to get one more game in before retiring.
