Thanksgiving news

First of all I hope that everyone is enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and I send dmy love out there to all my friends and family.
The news today is that the "voice of God" the "voice of the Yankees", Bob Shepard, is retiring at the age of 99 after almost 56 years announcing games. He has seen the likes of Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Don Mattingly, and Derek Jeter pass through Yankee Stadium and he stuck with the team through good seasons and bad. His distinct voice will forever carry on with Derek Jeter, for as long as Jeter remains a Yankee. In 2007, Shepard could not attend the postseason games due to an illness so Jeter asked that a recording of his introduction be played before every home at bat. Ever since then, the voice of Bob Shepard has played at both the old and new Yankees Stadiums, announcing "Now up to bat, number two, Derek Jeter, number two." This man has seen some amazing games and it is a shame to see him go. He did mention that he feels honored that Jeter wants his voice to be his introduction and that he has had an amazing run but simply cannot physically keep up with the job. Bob Shepard will surely join Yankee legends in Monument Park and I consider myself lucky to know that I heard Bob Shepard's voice when I visited old Yankee Stadium in it's last season in 2008. Bob Shepard. The man. The Myth. The Legend. The Voice of God. The Voice of the Yankees. Goodbye.
