Ailing Sheppard Might Not Return
Quote:
Bob Sheppard, who has been the public-address announcer at Yankee Stadium since 1951, may not be able to resume his duties this season.
"He's struggling to regain his health," Yankees spokesman Howard Rubenstein said. "He's in poor health. He and the Yankees both hope he's back in the booth. For now he's not."
Sheppard missed the final homestand of last season and the playoffs with what the team called laryngitis.
Rubenstein said Sheppard's son, Chris, will "try out" for a spot as a substitute by working some spring-training games.
