Gammons update

From the Boston Globe:

ESPN baseball analyst Peter Gammons, whose Sunday notes column in the Globe had a seminal impact on the way the sport is covered, came out of surgery and was in intensive care last night for a brain aneurysm. Gammons, who had planned to be at Fenway Park last night, was stricken near his home on Cape Cod and air-lifted to a Boston hospital, his wife, Gloria, told the Globe's Bob Ryan. Indications were he will remain in intensive care for 10-12 days, his wife said. Doctors are being cautiously optimistic on his recovery.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to a journalist who continues to set the bar high for everyone in his profession.

Gammons' first music CD, "Never Slow Down, Never Grow Old," is scheduled to be released on July 4. Proceeds from the album will benefit Theo and Paul Epstein's Foundation to be Named Later. Theo Epstein appears on the album, as do players Trot Nixon, Jonathan Papelbon, Lenny DiNardo, Kevin Youkilis, Tim Wakefield and Bronson Arroyo. "Announcer Boy" Don Orsillo also appears, as do several professional musicians, including Juliana Hatfield and George Thorogood.
