Peter Gammons Has His Dr. Evil Moment

by Chris Mottram • May 19, 2008 12:00 PM EDT

Either the great Peter Gammons was just defrosted from being cryogenically frozen for the last 50 years or he has grossly underestimated the net worth of the Yankees (at the very end of this clip):

This brings me to my next point: Why in the hell is Gammons doing sideline reporting, where he’s forced to regurgitate these pre-scripted bits, as opposed to doing real analysis in the studio? Or in the booth, for that matter, seeing as he’s more knowledgeable than Jon Miller and Joe Morgan combined. Gammons is one of about three ESPN "analysts" whose opinion is to be respected, yet somehow I'm still stuck listening to John Kruk and Eric Young.

(Headline context here, as if you needed it.)

Former President Andrew Jackson was mentioning at the end of the clip that if the Steinbrenner family sold the Yankees, the value of the franchise would be much greater than $ 1 million, which is what George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees for in the early 70’s from CBS. You’re talking at least a 1000 time return on your investment after 35 years, and I think that’s the point he was trying to make. So while Mr. Gammons might be going senile, this clip is not Exhibit A.
