At the Wheeling-Charleston Diocese’s conference for Faith Formation where I’m tomorrow’s keynote speaker, and I ran into this story (Hat tip to The Mets Police) on Bob Sheppard who still doesn’t seem up to par two months after his intended goal of returning to the Yankee Stadium PA Booth.
As first reported here on Googling God on July 7th, Sheppard may in fact have trouble simply staying awake for 9 innings.
The solution as mentioned in the Newsday column might be to have Sheppard do the opening lineup and first few innings and then hand things off to Jim Hall who should get the permanent position anyway when Shep officially retires.
