Lil Bit Special Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 To have a moment of silence for Steinbrenner and Sheppard before tonight's game. I was at the game tonight. It was well done and very complimentary of both men. And the fans gave a nice round of applause after the moment of silence. Not one boo was heard. Very classy all around.

Greenranger Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I always thought when Steinbrenner died it would be like a party up there. Classy move by the team and fans alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 It's a shame to see Boston make more of an effort to pay tribute than the Yankees own players. If this article tells the whole story, it's disgusting. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2010/07/16/2010-07-16_yanks_fail_to_show_stripes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shepphard didnt have relationships with the players from what I understand. He wasnt even a big sports fan either. I can't go killing someone for not showing up at a funeral. Its a personal decision. I'm not going tojudge someone off of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man gave 58 years of his life to the Yankees and not a single one of their players could take an hour out of their day to say "thanks". I tell it like it is, and that's just hideous.

In the same breath he described how he brought his camera hoping to take some pictures with the players. A camera...to a funeral and he is calling other people classless? I'd bet he wasn't the fan who went to the funeral for reasons other than to pay respects and I'd bet thats what keeps players away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a complete douce for bringing a camera to a funeral for photo ops. Still no excuse for the Yanks to send him off with a big eff you.

Bugg Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 +1Don't understand how some guy off the street who didn't know Bob Sheppard other than from being the PA announcer thought it appropraite to do that. Really sad about Mr. Sheppard; HOW ABOUT A PICTURE AND AUTOGRAPH? And people wonder why players get jaded. In fairness to the players, he was a guy at their place of business that few knew much beyond hi, hello. And also the funeral and wake were held during the All Star break. Many of these guys probably had plans to see their families or friends for a few days for the first time since February. It might have been classy if any showed up, but unless you go to every funeral of every employee at your place of business, doubt that's really a fair knock.
