Gothamite Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Well, we can't all have the mid-size city's inferiority complex. Nope, it's just Midwestern humility and egalitarianism. I don't care for people who think they're special.You realize that you're talking to a guy from Milwaukee? Seriously, doesn't sound like you're not actually acquainted with very many New Yorkers. Don't let lazy media stereotypes fool you - we're not all Carrie Bradshaw, and you're not all Tim Taylor. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Milo Meningocele Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 You realize that you're talking to a guy from Milwaukee? You realize that my point isn't about you specifically (even if I might've inadvertently lumped you in, because of your name and profile pic)?

Sure. But they're mostly on television. The real people aren't so easily characterized. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Then there's actual friends and acquaintances, before you even get to people on TV, radio and the internet. People like Anthony Bourdain, sports radio callers, and the guy here with the John Updike, "the true New Yorker..." quote as his member title. And that's just off the very top of my head.

PurpleRush Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 RIP Mr. Sheppard.While I'm a Yankee hater, I did like his voice and delivery, and it certainly was a constant in the Sox - Yanks rivalry growing up in the late 70s. I think it's a classy move if Jeter uses a taped Sheppard announcement getting into the box every night (at the Stadium, obviously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Jeter's been doing that for a couple years. It takes some getting used to - the first time I heard it, I didn't notice anything different until after the at-bat. Then Abreu came up, was introduced by Jim Hall, and all of a sudden it clicked in.No current or former Yankee players bothered to attend the 'legendary' Sheppard's funeral?! Hmmm...link'nother linkDidn't you hear? All New Yorkers must have their hearts surgically removed upon relocating within the five boroughs. No room for compassion in the Big City.
