I'm a bit annoyed to hear on the radio that no Yankee players attended the funeral for Bob Sheppard.

Jeter especially since he made it a point to have him record his introduction so he wouldn't get introduced by anyone else for the rest of his career.

Bob Sheppard was the voice of the Yankees for 50+ years and was a cherished part of the organization. For the players to not show up is a shame and I hope they get ripped for it.

- Some front office people and Cashman the GM were there but not a single current or former Yankee was there. I'm ashamed to be a Yankee fan right now -- nm - Krusty Jul 16, 15:46 2
  - The a story (no idea if true) that a bunch of them were on their way, but didn't make it because of a huge traffic accident. - decline Jul 16, 15:50 1

that's just not right. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 15:44
Steinbrenner never would have allowed that to happen. He would have had all of them on a bus going together. -- nm - Krusty Jul 16, 15:43
