Hall of Fame baseball journalist Peter Gammons is leaving ESPN after this week’s winter meetings and this news is breaking the hearts of sports fans everywhere.

Peter Gammons has been with ESPN for more than 20 years as an analyst and reporter.  MLB is going to be really weird without him…

“My decision to leave ESPN and move on at this point in my life has been conflicted,” Gammons said in a statement on the network’s Web site. “I owe a great deal of my professional life to ESPN, having spent more than half of my 40 years in journalism working for the network, and the choice to move on was made with nothing but the strongest feelings for the people with whom I worked. ESPN gave me a great deal more than I gave it, and will always be a huge part of who I am.

Thanks for all of your years Peter.  You are going to be missed greatly in the world of sports.
