News: Peter Gammons is Leaving ESPN

by Matthew Cerrone on December 8th, 2009 at 3:10 pm

ESPN has issued a press release, here, saying Hall of Fame journalist Peter Gammons is leaving ESPN.

if any one is ripe to go it alone, say, PeterGammons.com, it is gammons… actually, i bet he ends up at the MLB Network… seems like a good fit…

of course, he can always go back to his first job: appearing on the $20 bill…

…i kid, peter, i kid, because i know he has a good sense of humor…

…actually, i love his work, and admire him greatly… he set trends… in fact, much of what works in blogging and in sports media today was inspired by peter and his baseball notebook i am eager to see what he does next, be it in music, charity work or media and sports

In 2008, in a report for ESPN.com, Gammons put MetsBlog.com on a list of his favorite websites.

…by the way, so, i think thw two HUGE non-player news stories that Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus teased last weekend must be this, about gammons, and the story about Bloomberg getting in to the stats business
