For a gem of an interview, listen to former Dodger GM Fred Claire interviewing ESPN Peter Gammons. Claire is doing this as part of his gig with MLB Radio’s GM Corner.
I love Gammons. I’m glad the old coot is back.
On almost every baseball forum, you run across the familiar thread: Who’s your least favorite broadcaster/analyst? Everyone’s got an opinion though Tim McCarver’s name tends to show up an AWFUL lot.
One person you won’t see on that list is Gammons. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one thinking baseball fan say a bad word about him. It’s safe to say that Gammons is probably the most respected member of the sports media.
Take a listen to these two veterans (in the larger sense of the word) of the game of baseball.
