And an even better history, including a video of him announcing the Yankee lineup at the final game in the original Yankee Stadium two years ago.

It is hard to be too sad when someone lives to 99, but the narrator for many of the summer afternoons of my youth has passed, and I am saddened.

Class act from top to bottom. Rest in Peace.

Godspeed, Bob Sheppard.
