Report: Yanks PA voice Sheppard retiring (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Bob Sheppard says he has no plans to return to his longtime job as the public address announcer at Yankee Stadium. MLB.com reported Thursday that Sheppard, who is in his late 90s, doubts very much that he'll be able to resume his duties for even one New York Yankees game next season. Sheppard hasn't worked a game since late in the 2007 season due to illness.
