Get Well, Peter Gammons
Peter Gammons, baseball reporter for ESPN and who has been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame Writers' Wing, is recovering in a Boston hospital after suffering a brain aneurysm on Tuesday. The 61 year old Gammons is expected to be in the hospital for another couple of weeks.
Gammons is the best known baseball writer of his generation, as the article points out, and is one of the main reasons to watch ESPN's "Baseball Tonight"; he's one of the most insightful reporters in sports, and is so well connected in the game that he has insider information in almost every report. He's an extraordinarily talented reporter who successfully made the switch from newspapers to TV, but never lost his brilliance behind a keyboard. If I had followed another of my muses and become a sportswriter, I'd want to write like Peter Gammons. And 61 is too soon to lose him.
Get well soon, Peter.
