Sad news at the bottom of this link, Bob Sheppard is "struggling to recover his health".

There is simply nothing better than walking out of the tunnels in Yankee Stadium on a day game and coming into the sunlight as Sheppard announces the Yankees' batting order, repeating the player's number at the end. He has been "The Voice of God" at Yankee Stadium since 1951 which means he has announced the names of almost every great Yankee not named Ruth or Gehrig.

While the report doesn't specify what exactly is wrong it only offers that the team "hopes he can return to the booth." I know all of us certainly hope so.
