A few weeks later, her mother died. “Katie fell apart, just like the rest of us,” says Kim Rastrelli, Katie’s sister and the oldest of four children.

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.
