Inscription. For half a century he has welcomed generations of fans with his trademark greeting "Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Yankee Stadium". His clear, concise and correct vocal style has announced the names of hundreds of players - both unfamiliar and legendary - with equal divine reverence, making as synonymous with Yankee Stadium as its copper facade and monument park.

Erected 2000 by New York Yankees.
