Bob Sheppard (10/20/1910-7/11/2010). CNN-Time's Jeff Greenfield did this very elaborate feature interview on Bob in 1999. He visits Bob's house, his church, and that cathedral of sports Bob called his other home, Yankee Stadium. Bob covers in detail the usual clear-concise-correct topics and he also articulates some astute comments on the culture of baseball. Very well done. Produced by Bob Ruff.

Bob was a genuinely admirable human being and a gentleman of the old school who represented a bygone era of aspiration and dignity. The sacred eloquence that Bob's work represented and epitomized has now officially past. He was a credit to his faith, his family, his friends, and to sports. He possessed unrivaled character, integrity, courage, and class. How lucky I was to even know this exceptional man since his sterling influence on my life echoed through to my very heart and soul. I shall miss him terribly. We shall all miss the magnificent Robert Leo Sheppard.

Thank you Bob Sheppard fans!
