Via ESPN: “Peter is resting comfortably after surgical repair of a brain aneurysm,” Gammons’ wife, Gloria, said in a statement. “We appreciate all of your good wishes and ask that you keep Peter in your thoughts and prayers. Please understand that we are asking for our privacy at this time as we focus on Peter’s recovery.” The 61-year-old Gammons, a longtime ESPN baseball analyst and Hall of Fame journalist, suffered an aneurysm early tuesday at his Cape Cod home.
