Talk:Bob Sheppard

message: I added "citation needed" to Mr. Sheppard's birthdate because of two things. First, if you Google his name and read associated articles, you quickly learn that his birthdate is a mystery. He does not reveal it to reporters, and there is no verifiable source of a DOB. Secondly, Mr. Sheppard appeared on WFAN with host Steve Somers prior to the final NY Giants home game of the regular season, because it could have been his final Giants game.... Somers said something about Mr. Sheppard being in his early 80s, and Mr. Sheppard did not raise issue with that (any WFAN listener knows that Somers is notorious for joking around, but this wasn't a joke). Additionally, I just find it very hard to believe by waiting near the players' parking lot at Yankee Stadium prior to games that the man is in his middle-90s.... he walks totally fine and unassisted into the ballpark. The only reason why he left the Giants was because he wanted to spend more time with his family, not because of old age or poor health. Riphamilton 01:05, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The article now states both a DOB and the birthdate is a mystery thing.  This should be fixed. SpikeZoft 17:30, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed a recent edit saying Bob Sheppard might appear in Yankee Stadium in 2008. Unless he actually shows up, it's not worth mentioning. Storkynoob (talk) 19:55, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

message: It said in the article that Bob Sheppard had "four granchildren, all girls". WRONG! I ran on the boys track team in high school with Paul Sheppard, who was his grandson, and he obviously was not a girl. I don't know where that information was obtained, but it was obviously erroneous. That's why I edited out the passage where it said that his grandchildren were "all girls."
