Peter Gammons, who's reported on baseball for ESPN since 1989, is leaving the network.

Gammons, 64, is expected to write a farewell espn.com column Friday. His future work plans have not been announced.

Gammons, who wrote for the Boston Globe and Sports Illustrated before joining ESPN, was in the first wave of print reporters who got TV jobs. Says ESPN executive editor John Walsh: "Peter was the best and brightest in making the transition from print to video."
