The Rest of the Story
The following story appeared on the AP wires yesterday:
ESPN baseball analyst Peter Gammons was at Fenway Park on Saturday, his first visit to a major-league stadium since his brain aneurysm in June.
Gammons visited both clubhouses before the game between the Yankees and Boston Red Sox. The 61-year-old former newspaperman was speaking with New York manager Joe Torre in the visitors' clubhouse when hitting coach Don Mattingly came up to say hello.
What the AP left out, however, was that Mattingly came over to do more than say hello. As mentioned on ESPN during the Red Sox/Yankees game Sunday, Mattingly presented Gammons with a cross pendant that Mattingly's wife had given him when he was going through health problems.
