Baseball reporter Peter Gammons to leave ESPN
Tuesday, December 8, 2009
Peter Gammons, who's reported on baseball for ESPN since 1989, is leaving the network.
Gammons, 64, is expected to write a farewell espn.com column Friday. His future work plans have not been announced.

Gammons, who wrote for the Boston Globe and Sports Illustrated before joining ESPN, was in the first wave of print reporters who got TV jobs. Says ESPN executive editor John Walsh: "Peter was the best and brightest in making the transition from print to video."
Gammons, who in a statement says he is "conflicted" about leaving, adds that "ESPN gave me a great deal more than I gave it."

Gammons survived a potentially life-threatening aneurysm in 2006. He appeared across ESPN's media outlets and, occasionally, was involved in game coverage. ESPN executive vice president Norby Williamson says ESPN is "sad to see Peter go" but understands "his desire for new challenges and a less demanding schedule."
