Peter: "The Oakland Athletics are 3-5 this season when the temperature is greater than 73 degrees but less than 65 degrees given a +/-3 degree variance on Thursdays but excluding all other days asides from the second Wednesday of next week if it's partly cloudy but with a 30% chance of rain or Rickey Henderson playing again."  (This is just Sportscenter in general)

I like reading him better than listening to him, but he's smart, incisive and seems to have a broad range of solid sources.

Gammons is one of the best baseball reports in the last 40 years. He is thorough, in depth and always offers a lot of unique insight in a very thoughtful and well articulated way. Peter has a style of his own both speaking and writing, and has set the bar in baseball journalistic integrity.

don't agree with everything he says. but I respect his work for the most part and love to talk about the game.

Unattractive uber-nerd with an unfortunate tendency to appear arrogant still gets more authentic inside information than anyone else. Undeserving of the "legendary" status Red Sox fans accord him, but still solid enough. Loses one point for nearly ruining Neil Young's "Powderfinger" for me by covering it at the Boston music festival "Hot Stove Cool Music" in 2007. Listen, kids: Baseball and rock do not mix. Take a lesson from Scott Spiezio and Barry Zito, and never ever pick up a guitar again. Thanks.

He needs to brush his teeth, they are very yellow.

Love him or hate him, Gammons has got it goin on. He is THE name to throw when you're talking baseball. It is the prescence of Gammons that makes ESPN's Baseball Tonight so popular.

really doesn't know baseball. Knows how to talk to the right information feeders. When it comes down to it, in a bar setting where you just talk sports, Gammons would stand out like a housewife.

Makes mistakes, overrates prospects out of all proportion in a way not unlike the manager Sparky Anderson did. Does have a Red Sox bias, but was the best baseball newspaper writer of his era, hands down, plus is very knowledgeable and insightful still, is an astute and informed fan of rock music, and does commendable charity work. Never boring to listen to either.

One of the most intelligent baseball guys out there. A pleasure to listen to him on the radio and watch his reports on TV. He knows his stuff.

Fundamental part of Baseball Tonight despite the heavy Red Sox bias. Knows his baseball.

He does stumble over his words and he does have a Red Sox bias, but he is one of the great baseball journalists of all time. That's why Peter Gammons is now a member of the baseball Hall Of Fame.

Great unapologetic Red Sox fan. Very good judge of talent. A great asset to ESPN.

supposed to be the baseball guru, but he always seems to be mumbling something incoherently.

kinda smart but sucks up to Barry Bonds the steroid king...barry the best ever...shut up old man....bonds is on steriods and he's not even close to the best player ever..u should be smart enuff to kno that

Has a vast wealth of baseball knowledge and makes accurate predictions.

Great baseball knowledge, but seems arrogant.

Self-appointed, stuffy New England baseball guru. ESPN exaggerates his talent by introducing a breaking story with the statement that Peter Gammons reports that... when other outlets often have the story long before he does. Good, but not THAT good.

Peter Gammons is the best baseball guy around. If you want to know what's going on, find out who might get traded, what a team is thinking, where a team stands, Gammons is by far the most informed. Before ESPN, he used to write ( and still does I guess) a full page Sunday Baseball article for the Boston Globe. He just knows his stuff and gets all the info you'd want to know. When he's on TV, I immediately pay attention because he knows what he's talking about.

looks like he should be in jackos thriller video

Yes, the Red Sox bias is annoying, and lately he's been stumbling over his words. But he's the guy to watch when the trading deadline draws near.

Slipped. Married to 5-6 GM's sources and this leads to huge bias. Actually below average at communicating his ideas. Very populst on issues and sometimes feigns indignation at what, I can only guess. Fixed the crooked mouth problem. Seemed outclassed and stunned by Bobby V's assertiveness last season.

He somehow gets the Red Sox into every trade rumor!

In addition to saying look 20 times a segment, he says but 15 times a segment as well. He basically has three really good sources, but misfires quite a bit at every trading deadline.

Old Hickory has decent contacts, decent reporter, but overrated. He does have some insight, however, Tim Kurkjian is much better, much less arrogant, and not as partial to certain teams.

Gammons is insightful. But, has anyone ever met a bigger honk for his team, the Boston Red Sox. Dear ringer for Dead President Andrew Jackson.

the MAN ..period..end of story

Gammons comes off like he has vast knowledge of the game, but his analysis is frequently weak, premature, or just plain wrong. If one reads what he says, and then tracks his accuracy over time, one finds that he is not nearly as wise or knowlegeable as his presentation (and reputation) would lead you to think. Gammons would be fine for a single market--if he went back to being a columnist for the Globe, for example--but having him doing national-level analysis is absurd.

He knows his sport, despite the occasional Red Sox bias.

1. His Red Sox bias is really ridiculous for a national journalist. 2. He has no sense of humor, and looks completely out of place when Bobby V.and Harold Reynolds are joking around. 3. If I ever see another one of his articles shamelessly plugging his Boston-area band du jour (ex: Kay Hanley) I am going to puke.

Knowledgeable, but King of the NE bias in national sports media. Style comes off as too smug.

I can't say I'm much of a Peter Gammons fan. He certainly knows the game, but his analysis of young prospects is frequently way off. Gammons also used to have the biggest Barry Larkin fixation of all time, and his relentless hype enabled Barry to win an undeserved MVP years ago.

I lost all respect for Gammons when he picked the Cubs to win the NL Central this year.

Age ol' classic

He is the MAN!! I love his reports!

Knows of what he speaks.A rarity in a journalist.

Got to love this guy! He looks just like my grandpa.

Knows baseball better than anyone else...exceptional.

Good baseball reporter. . .solid info. Anyone else thinks he looks like the face on the new 20 dollar bill?

When it comes to MLB info, Peter is tops!

More knowledge and less French pastry that anyone in the business.

Does any other national sporscaster concentrate so much on his favorite team than Gammons on the Red Sox

knowledge beats appearance and voice

His schtick is getting a little old. He is pretty bland, but he does get some inside scoops since he has been around the game for so long.
