The Blog World Welcomes....Peter Gammons

Be sure to mark February 16th on your calendars, as it was the day the most important blog was launched. Ok, maybe not. But it is the most important baseball-related blog ever launched, as it's being written by none other than Peter Gammons.

Here's the link.

Be sure to bookmark that site. Or you could bookmark this one, read the goodness, and then head off to see what Gammons has to say, as his blog link is available to the right under "Baseball Sites".

If you're a fan of Peter Gammons, you're already familiar with his famous "Diamond Notes" columns. Gorm passed this along to me a few weeks ago, and it's a site I visit once a day.

Refresh it to get brand new quips, and yes, they're all phony. Who doesn't love quotes like this "There was a lot of groaning in the Indians front office when Jhonny Peralta got through waivers without anyone claiming him. They either really want a taker for that contract, or the lukewarm gumbo they had for dinner didn't agree with them.".


Now imagine Gammons repeating that on Baseball Tonight, and therein lies the comedy.
