    So here is your comment: It is unlikely that Posada would have dropped an easy pop-up.!! Cervelli, is such a bad defensive catcher that he is more likely to drop such an easy pop-up!! Statistics show that Posada would not have dropped it.!!!! Hmmm....... Mr. Preisler, I think you have it totally wrong. Even though Cervelli might have called for it, it could have been a logical reaction at seeing the ball in the infield and obviously wanting to make the catch . To you, it seems irrelevant that 1) the close presence of Vasquez, 2) the likelihood of a collision and 3) the akward position of Cervelli, facing the outfield, had anything to do with missing the ball. To err is human. I find it uncalled for, the amount of adverse media comments Cervelli undeservedly gets. This was an error that ANY catcher can make and it should not trigger the kind of comments that you did. Its refreshing to know, though, that the pitching staff loves to have Cervelli behind the dish

    When it occurred to me to print excerpts from my transcript as a tribute to Bob Sheppard, I intended to play back the actual voice recording just to kind of refresh myself on his rhythms and inflections. Reading his words, though, I of course realized that wasn't necessary. I could hear him speaking--it was uncanny. It was his son Paul, via the Yanks, who set up the interview for me--and suggested I ask Mr. Sheppard about his WWII service after I'd told him I wanted to explore a part of his life that hadn't been covered by others a hundred times. I thought his naval enlistment story was just great. He really seemed to get a kick out of telling it, and I and smile every time I read it.

    Thanks for this; it was enjoyable reading, and fun to "hear" Bob's voice speaking as I read his quotes. Some years ago, as Bob approached mid-90s, we all knew that even he couldn't go forever. Poor Paul Olden, as good as he is, he is essentially the Gene Bartow who succeeded John Wooden. The bar was set so incredibly high that no one will ever get close.
