    Baseball Slant Peter Gammons leaving the World Wide Leader

    Per the World Wide Leader:
    Gammons Ends Hall of Fame Run with ESPN | ESPN MediaZone

    He said he wants an easier schedule. However, given that this is ESPN, he just might go somewhere else, because those guys are jerks.

    Yep they could use another insider like Heyman. I would be cool to have him around my favorite channel. I don't even watch ESPN anymore. But I caught myself missing Gammons some today.

    He isn't what he used to be, but he still does get some inside info.

Gammons will also serve as a signature and regularly featured writer for MLB.com's new columnist initiative, writing commentary on breaking news and posting several articles online each week.

    During the 2009-2010 offseason, Gammons will appear on Hot Stove, MLB Network's nightly offseason studio show featuring updates and analysis of the moves all 30 clubs are making and planning in preparation for the upcoming season. He will also contribute to MLB Network's Spring Training program 30 Clubs in 30 Days and do studio work on short documentary-style pieces and other select programming.

    This really legitimizes the MLB Network IMO. To the casual fan, Gammons is gold and having him at the trade deadline I am sure will cause many, who can, to switch over from ESPN to the MLB Network.
