He was the absolute best! Nobody came close. Reggie Jackson called him the "Voice Of God." Bob Sheppard was the Public Address Announcer at Yankee Stadium from 1951 until 2007. The guy was such a pro, he admitted that he preferred announcing the names of Latin - American players. To understand, you'd have to hear him in action! Below is a link to a tribute to Bob, hosted by You Tube. The video is good, but, if you ever attended a game at Yankee Stadium, you will appreciate and understand who and what Bob Sheppard was at Yankee Stadium.
P.I.P. Mr Sheppard.
