we went to a wedding last night where they introduced the wedding party with the Yankee Announcer's voice. Does anyone know anything about this? My FH wants this the for our wedding.

Re: Yankee Announcer George Steinbrenner
I dont think it is George Steinbrenner that announces, but the guy who does it recorded a CD i believe for a LIW bride by the name of GettingHutched. Maybe you can FM her for the info.

Re: Yankee Announcer George Steinbrenner
I'm confused. Steinbrenner owns the Yankees. Was it Steinbrenners voice or an announcer's voice?

Re: Yankee Announcer
i would love if Michael Kay introduced me... lmao. but since i have a habit of dating mets fans, i dont think that will happen.
do you mean the stadium announcer or the play by play announcer?

Re: Yankee Announcer
i dont know how to contact these people but...
Dear Bob, Jaime & The Next Faze,
Jimmy and I want to thank you for making our wedding day so great! You helps us out by playing our Bob Sheppard tape for our announcements and everyone raved about how great the band sounded. You are all amazing and talented musicians and we hope to attend another event and hear you play.
With much love & happiness, Ressa & Jimmy Peck September 9, 2007 Valley Rengency
The pauses aren't there to accommodate the stadium's echoes, as many think. 'I talk slowly all the time,' he says, slowly. 'I don't change my manner of speaking doing public announcing, talking with my family, or speaking with you. Once in a while, people getting married will get in touch with my agent and ask me to tape the names of the wedding party as they march in.'
that's taken from an interview he did... i cant find the agents name though. sorry :(

Re: Yankee Announcer
I forgot his name, but my priest and my boss both know it . . . . You can actually just call him and he'll record the intros for you.
OOPS, just saw other posts . . . . you have the right info, that's him.
