He loves the Red Sox because he loves baseball and thats the team he grew up with.

Notice I said "loves baseball". I had the pleasure to meet Mr Gammons two summers ago at a Cape Cod League baseball game. The only thing he loves more than baseball, is his wife, Gloria. Sports needs more reporters like Gammons who have an overwhelming passion for the game, dont pull punches and who report fair and accurate.

Peter, know you probably wont see this, but I'm praying for you and hope to see you on the Cape sooner rather than later!
The guys is cutting an album with Theo Epstein, too close for my liking. Saying Gammons is not biased is just wrong. He is an excellent reporter, but his red sox allegiance comes through. I am guessing the Red Sox fans don't see it. Let me guess, you are a Red Sox fan.
