ESPN's Peter Gammons is headed for MLB Network after serving as baseball analyst since 1989 and previously working at the Boston Globe where he started in 1969 Gammons who said he would make some statement about going to MLB Network on Wednesday had no comment on Tuesday. Gammons who spent 20 years at the World Sports Leader liked what MLB had to offer and getting more air time was part of that package with ESPN breaking away for other sports as opposed to working on a network where there is baseball all day and all night and all the time. Gammons was elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame in 2005 in the writers wing, Gammons is noted for starting the Sunday National Baseball column at the Globe and he also wrote for the Sporting News weekly periodicals. But it was ESPN where Gammons was an analyst that launched his fame and his notoriety to a national audience and he enjoyed working with some of sports television's best talent on the baseball shows there. With the new MLB deal he will have the opportunity to have more say and be on continuously with more baseball stories and reports than he could ever imagined at ESPN because of the baseball format. Gammons appeared as an analyst for ESPN at the Playoffs and World Series, All-Star games, and some of the game's biggest show cases. Tiger's mother in law is okay released from hospital: Tiger Woods mother in law who was visiting the Woods mansion was released from the Hospital on Tuesday, 57 year old Barbo Holmberg who is a Swedish politician was feeling stomach pains and collapsed. Sources say that the stress of all the publicity not just in the States but back home in Sweden was too much for her and after learning about Tiger's latest liaisons it was just too much for her to take. Holmberg spent 11 hours at Health Central Hospital where Tiger was sent as well after his car accident Friday November 27th. Homberg was released on Tuesday and was reported to be in good condition a hospital spokesman Dan Yates would not elaborate on what caused the stomach pains and refused to answer if it was related to having an ulcer. It's falling apart for Tiger: Tiger's wife Elin Nordegren is reportedly moving from the Woods mansion and leaving for a $2 million mansion in Sweden she is reportedly going to bring the children with her and Tiger had offered large sums of money for her to stay so that he could continue to see the children. Nordegren has had about enough and is ready to go home and take her children there with her. Holmberg was there to lend support and is now ready to help Nordegren and her grandchildren settle in Sweden as soon as possible "to get away from this mess". If Tiger returns to the golf course the hecklers will be out in force there is no doubt. It might get him ticked to hear all that and it might do one of two things it might drive him all the more to play a better game of golf or he might just collapse and fall way behind the other golfers and he might become just regular golfer and may not play like he did as a number one golfer. It's unavoidable now and he's going to have a hard time dealing with it just based on the personality that we see of how protective he is of his dealings with everybody and how canned his answers are to a lot of things. As tricky as the situation is and with his wife moving to Sweden and Tiger was not going to show up until January in Torrey Pines right before Pebble Beach anyway. He's going to go into his hermit's cave and not say a whole heck of a lot for awhile. Gatorade who dropped Tiger from it's endorsement did not do so because of the car accident and the stories about Tiger's mistresses but the drink and the endorsement was to run it's course two days before Tiger had his auto accident. The Gatorade withdrawal took place on Wednesday November 25th. Tom Zulewski files the report each week for Sportstalk Radio |
