Reblog: Voice of the Yankees May Retire

Shamelessly yoinked from Daring Fireball:

Bob Sheppard is 98 years old and has been the P.A. announcer at Yankee Stadium since 1951:

He did his first Yankees game on April 17, 1951, announcing a lineup that included Phil Rizzuto, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Yogi Berra.
