A great loss for the team and the fans to lose these two great Yankee icons so close together, but somehow easier to think of them both being together for the rest of time watching over the stadium. Rest in peace Bob and George...

Bob Sheppard was another icon of baseball. I enjoyed listening to him when I went to Yankee Stadium to see the
games. My condolences go out to Mr.Sheppard's family.
Rest in Peace,Mr.Sheppard.

Bob Shepard arrived in heaven first so he could be there to announce the arrival of Mr. Steinbrenner. God bless them both. An era has passed

I CAN STILL HEAR YOUR VOICE....... Bob Shepard has called George home to be with him. THE VOICE & THE BOSS will always be remembered fondly, in the eyes of all whose lives they've touched.... RIP GENTLEMEN!!!!

Bob Sheppard and Yankee Stadium were an unseparable duo. I had the privilage to hear Bob announce the starting lineup at the Metrodome when the Yankees visited the Twins and I also heard him when I visited Yankee Stadium.

This is not a good week for the Yankee's. First Bob Shepard, then George.
