2023.01.01 – 0731 – Sport Stadium Announcing
In this category could also come ‘announcers’ such as those as sports events.
Bob Sheppard was the long-time public address announcer for more than 4,500 Yankees baseball games over 56 years. He was also the in-house voice for New York Giants football games for more than a half-century. Wikipedia says “Sheppard's smooth, distinctive baritone and precise, consistent elocution became iconic aural symbols of both the old Yankee Stadium and Giants Stadium”.
Player Carl Yastrzemski once said, "You're not in the big leagues until Bob Sheppard announces your name".
