During NESN’s pregame report, hyping tonight’s Mets/Red Sox meeting, the Boston Globe’s Gordon Edes confirmed that Peter Gammons is undergoing medical treatment. Earlier, NESN had claimed Gammons had suffered an anyeurism.
The frequent Buffalo Tom jokes from this corner aside, here’s wishing Gammons the fastest possible recovery.
This is a side effect of having to share a broadcast booth with joe morgan.

any further remarks about the debilitating effects of collaborating with Juliana Hatfield will stricken from this space on the grounds of poor taste.

When Bill Lee, in “The Wrong Stuff,” identified Gammons as “one of the hipper writers,” that was a good enough endorsement for me. Here’s hoping he gets well soon.
