JE-tah ... number 2 ...
My best Sheppar...Derek ... JE-tah ... number 2 ...<br /><br />My best Sheppard memory is from going to Orlando Hernandez's Yankee debut. People were really fired up about Orlando and eager to see him pitch. Sheppard introduced him as "Orlando ... El Duque ..." and the "Hernandez" was drowned out by the crowd cheering. <br /><br />I went to a game after Sheppard stopped announcing and his replacement made two or three noticeable mistakes. I don't remember what they were exactly, but he pronounced at least one Yankee's name wrong. I realized I had never heard Sheppard botch a name. He was the best at what he did, much like Wolverine.Rich Mahoganynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-58573666724568531162010-07-12T12:42:15.995-07:002010-07-12T12:42:15.995-07:00That is an amazing story!
