Saturday Nite Trivia

[tedzan]

For almost 57 years, Bob Sheppard announced the ballplayers over the Yankees PA system.
His dignified and reverent voice was one of the most recognizable in the sportsworld.

Bob's first game was on Opening Day at Yankee Stadium, April 17, 1951.

(1) Who was the first ballplayer Bob announced ?


(2) That day he announced 8 future Hall of Famers......can you name them ? ?

1. Vic Raschi (p)

2. Mantle, Williams, Boudreau, Doerr, Rizzuto, DiMaggio, Berra, Mize.

Wouldn't the visiting pitcher have been announced before Raschi? And I think Casey Stengel would be one of the eight hall of famers.


I didn't mention his name because I had to look it up.

9 HOFers, if you count umpire McGowan

[tedzan]

Jason C correctly identified the 8 HOFer's.

Still looking for the very first ballplayer that was announced that day by Bob Sheppard.
