Today is Old-Timer’s Day, a Yankees tradition in which our heroes from years past return to the Stadium. This year is a little different than most, since we’ll also remember a special Yankee who never took the field but was as much a part of the Yankee experience as anyone who did: Bob Sheppard. The “Voice of God” was the public address announcer for more than 50 years and anyone who ever watched a game at Yankee Stadium was greeted with his melodic baritone intoning, “Good Afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen and Welcome to Yankee Stadium.” He became the standard by which all PA announcers are measured. It’s only fitting that today’s festivities are dedicated to him.

Here is a brief rundown of the Old-Timer’s Schedule:
