Bob Sheppard, the Voice of the Yankees

Bob Sheppard, the public address announcer for the New York Yankees, won’t be returning to job, according to a report on MLB.com.

Sheppard, 99, had been the PA announcer in the Bronx for more than 50 years, and has thus outlasted scores of managers, players and George Steinbrenner tantrums.

Besides his job with the Yankees, Sheppard worked as a professor of speech at St. John’s University.
