Bob Sheppard Hopes to Return July 1, Open New Stadium

Bob Sheppard was interviewed by BustedHalo.com and dropped this great news!

My target date to be back is July 1. There is an All Star Game to be played at Yankee Stadium on July 15th and one of my goals is to be there and announce it. I did one years and years ago at Yankee Stadium but I can’t recall it. So now this would be something to remember. I do want to be there next year when we open a new Stadium. And I’d like to be the one who says, “Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen…Welcome to the NEW…Yankee Stadium.”

Halo worked hard on this one – so check out the full read here:

>Fathers and Sons and Baseball

>

Not about the Mets – but a cool story about fathers and sons and baseball. If you’re reading this stupid blog I’m sure you’ll appreciate. No this isn’t me, but I’ve done the same both as a son and a father.

“Dad, tell me the story about the Yankees and the Red Sox,” he’ll ask with a gleam in his eye, awaiting my account of “The Curse of the Bambino.”
He delights in hearing, over and over again, how the Red Sox made a colossal blunder back in 1920, when they sold the great Babe Ruth to the Yankees. The Yankees had to build a new stadium to accommodate all their new fans and they went on to win 26 World Series before the Red Sox won again –in 2004.

Now, with Yankee Stadium in its final season, my son told me he wanted to see his first Yankees game before the legendary place is history.

His wish was my command. I’m a hard-core, lifelong fan of the Bombers, but I hadn’t been to a game since my son came along. I was eager to pass my enthusiasm on to him.
