The NY Yankees PA announcer is 97 years old.
Bob Sheppard, a former St Johns University professor, is now in his 6th decade for the Yankees. Even though he loves the Yankee job, he still insists that his job as a professor was much more important. Yankees and Red Sox now tied at 4-4.

2. I've been a fan of Bob Sheppard since the 1950s.
I was a Yankees fan until the Braves moved to Atlanta in 1966, and MLB moved to my territory.
