Bob Sheppard (10/20/1910-7/11/2010), voice of Yankee Stadium for 57 seasons, recreates, in one of his finest moments, his introduction of the line-ups for Joe DiMaggio's finale, Game 6 of the 1951 World Series. CNN's Jeff Greenfield intros this part of the Yankees Tribute to Joe DiMaggio as created by Rick Cerrone and his NYY Staff. Bob Sheppard was agenuinely admirable human being and a gentleman of the old school who represented a bygone era of aspiration and dignity. The sacred eloquence that Bob's work represented and epitomized has now officially past. He was a credit to his faith, his family, his friends, and to sports. He possessed unrivaled character, integrity, courage, and class. How lucky I was to even know this exceptional man since his sterling influence on my life echoed through to my very heart and soul. I shall miss him terribly. We shall all miss the magnificent Robert Leo Sheppard. Thank you all fellow Sheppard fans
