Yankee Stadium Profile #1 - Bob Sheppard Beer Guy
Billy here. My first Stadium Profile will be on a man many in the Yankee Stadium upper deck know for his signature Robert Leo Sheppard impersonation. He is the Beck’s beer man and a guy that looks so unstable that you’d feel safer around Elijah Dukes.
Name: Bob Sheppard Beer Guy
Height: not tall
Weight: fat
Resides in: storage closet under the bleachers
Hobbies: selling beer, impersonating Bob Sheppard, looking like Abdullah the Butcher
Now, this man is entertaining and all, but quite frankly, he doesn’t do a good Bob Sheppard. Although he and Bob Sheppard look exactly alike, the vocal delivery is a bit off. It is always nice to see him though, as he is always good for a laugh and lightens the mood when you are ready to jump on the field and shadow kick an umpire. There has been a rumor going around recently that he may in fact be the Notorious BIG incognito, but I doubt BIG would ever be able to walk up and down steps. Actually come to think about it, I have never seen the beer guy walk up and down the steps, he is always towards the base of the upper deck…
In all seriousness, this man makes you laugh even when your game sucks and is nice enough to carry around beer instead of working behind a counter where most people don’t wanna walk their lazy asses. If you spot this man at Yankee Stadium, congratulate him for bringing entertainment to the game and being among the legends along with the Daz-Haagen guy. Then yell at him for selling 20 oz Becks for $10.50.
