Bob Sheppard hopes to return for Yankee Stadium finale

I'll admit, it was really neat to speak to Bob Sheppard on the phone.

I was half expecting him to answer by saying,

Good morning...

ladies and gentlemen...

and welcome...

to my Baldwin residence.

Anyway, I called him to inquire about his health (he feels good) and whether he is going to make it to Yankee Stadium for the final game (he hopes so).

One possibility, he said, is to have Jim Hall sit by his side during the game in case he gets tired. "He would be my relief speaker, like a relief pitcher,” he said.

Here's my Web column on Bob Sheppard.
