The New York Yankees lost two legends a little more than 10-years-ago. Longtime Yankee Stadium PA announcer Bob Sheppard passed away on July 11, 2010, at the remarkable age of 99. Just two days later, owner George Steinbrenner also passed at age 80.
Sheppard announced more than 4,500 Yankee games over the course of 56 years. He was on the call for 22 pennant-winning seasons & 13 championships. Derek Jeter had a recording of Sheppard announcing him when he was coming to the plate for the remainder of his career. It was first used in the All-Star game just two days after he had passed.
