Thoughts and prayers

Peter Gammons is resting in ICU after emergency brain surgery. I grew up reading his work, as did so many of you out there. He did, as many are saying, redefine the role of a national baseball reporter, and was THE national outlet for baseball news before the Internet, 24-hour cable coverage, etc. And while I don't know him, everything I have heard is that he is a very nice guy and very down-to-earth.

Please say a prayer tonight for Peter Gammons and his family and his friends. May he fight through this situation and continue on with a good life, regardless of what is still possible with his career.
