Sheppard to miss Opening Day

Sad news to report today. Bob Sheppard will be unable to announce the lineups at Opening Day in the new Stadium.

"I will not be able to be at Yankee Stadium for the series with the Cubs or opening Day," Sheppard said in a statement Tuesday. "My personal physician advised me to wait until I am ready. I am looking forward to doing games in the new stadium."

We look forward to that day too, Bob.
