Peter Gammons

Does anyone know if he's sick or anything? Last time I was listening to him he was slurring his words and stuttering a lot. Just now I was sitting here and only half listening to the TV. I got annoyed at whoever was stuttering and realized it was him. Has anyone else noticed this? He's getting pretty old, so it wouldn't surprise me.

well, he had a stroke last year, so im sure that has something to do with it

i'd much rather have gammons than a ton of people on espn, not that that says much

He had a brain aneurysm.

Enough is enough with this guy. I understand ESPN bringing him back as a morale booster since sports is this guy's life. I would hope after this baseball season they can talk him out of coming back.

gammons is awesome

i'd rather gammons map out his thoughts on a lite-brite display board than listen to steve phillips speak

I was actually surprised how sharp he came back after his aneurysm. I guess I was expecting an Ebert-type return (who was really sad to watch). Though I haven't seen Gammons ultra-recently, maybe not since the All Star break, so he might be in deep decline. I definitely still like him on staff.

(and the Lite-Brite reference was a winner.)

didn't he always talk like that?
