Whis- pered voices asked the question over and over: “Did you hear about Peter Gammons?” Then my cellphone began to buzz, more questions about The Commissioner. “Is he okay? Man, I hope he pulls through.” Peter Gammons, of ESPN and ESPN.com, suffered a brain aneurysm that day. The man who made his name by producing his Sunday baseball notebook in the Boston Globe before moving on to The Worldwide Leader as their go-to seamhead was put out of commission by an unforeseen medical condition that will leave him out of the lineup for a while. I can’t think of any other reporter that could get sick and have the story not only be on the news, but end up as one of the lead stories. This man is adored by New Englanders, and beyond, and everyone wants him to recover quicker than a Roger Clemens fastball. The interviews with other reporters told the story of just how important this guy is, in and out of the game of baseball. Sean McAdam, the respected Providence Jour- nal baseball columnist, nearly came to tears speaking of his respect and friendship with the man. I’ve been lucky enough to make Peter’s acquaintance on several occasions and all I can tell you is that I adore the man. As a young baseball writer he took the time to For The Umpires, It’s talk about the game with me when he certainly could More Than Balls And have been doing just about anything else.

  • Tony Robichaux 1961-2019
    IN MEMORIAM TONY ROBICHAUX 1961-2019 Tony Robichaux spent 25 seasons as the leader of the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns and took the baseball program to new heights. Robichaux coached 29 All-Americans, five Academic All-Americans, 90 All-Sun Belt players and 55 All-Louisiana players in his 25 years with the Cajuns. During that time, he coached six Sun Belt Pitchers of the Year, two Sun Belt Players of the Year, two Sun Belt Newcomers of the Year, three Sun Belt Freshmen of the Year, three All-Louisiana Pitchers of the Year, one All-Louisiana Player of the Year and five All-Louisiana Newcomers of the Year. Robichaux took Louisiana to its only College World Series appearance in 2000 and won over 1,000 career games. Yet, that’s not how Robichaux will be remembered. He will be remembered and honored as someone who left behind a legacy of servant leadership and compassion that extended beyond the baseball diamond and into the lives of the thousands of student- athletes and staff he impacted during his career. Coach Robe’s contributions to the University and his impact left on others will not be forgotten. 36 1 WELCOME INTERVIEW AVAILABILITY The Louisiana Athletic Communications Office Head coach Matt Deggs is available at his weekly appreciates your interest in Louisiana Baseball media presss conference and by appointment in and looks forward to assisting you during the the mornings.
