Gammons is the most respected baseball reporter in the business. Scouts, GM's, etc. call him. His cell phone rings off the hook. He is the most trusted of them all. He tells it like it is. He hardly ever has anything bad to say about anyone (he does have reservations on the steroid boys - as he is a member of the BWA that votes). I email him for some news that he has heard from around the league, so I can use to post with my fellow roto-writers. I've only met one fellow writer, who can't stand him, and uses his columns to contradict his every word. Unfortunately he is a part of my roto-crew.
