BOSTON -- Peter Gammons, an ESPN analyst and member of the writer's wing of the baseball Hall of Fame, was released Monday from a Boston hospital where he was being treated for a brain aneurysm.
The 61-year-old Gammons was moved to an undisclosed rehabilitation center, his wife, Gloria said in a statement. Gammons was stricken at his Cape Cod home June 27 and airlifted to Brigham and Women's Hospital, where he underwent surgery.
"Peter, his family and his doctors are very pleased with the progress that Peter has made following surgical repair of a brain aneurysm," she said in the statement released by the hospital. "We all want to thank you for the positive thoughts and good wishes that have been sent Peter's way. We also appreciate your understanding and respect for our privacy at this time."
Gammons, a baseball analyst on ESPN, began his sports writing career at The Boston Globe in 1969. He covered the NHL, baseball and college basketball for Sports Illustrated from 1976-78 and 1986-90, working a second stint at the Globe in between. He joined ESPN full-time in 1990.
