Wow, he's only 61? He looks older than my dad, who is 12 years older. He always looks very frail on TV, to me. I hope he pulls through.

Please get better Mr. Gammons. You are one of the most respected baseball writers around.

I can't believe that he's only 61. He looks like he's at least 75.

Get well soon, Mr. Gammons. Heck of a writer, and a true baseball enthusiast. No reason to watch ESPN anymore.

What a nightmare.

I hope they've got some his favorite tunes playing in the ICU.

What an unfortunate turn of events. I hope Gammons recovers. Terrible news.

From my layman's reading about the matter, a ruptured brain aneurysm (which is what I believe Gammonst technically suffered) is one of those medical conditions that few people have any warning that they may have.

The main symptom is headaches, but they often seem like migraines or tension headaches, so people forget about them.

And most likely when you get a headache, you are not suffering from a ruptured aneurysm.
