Boston ? ESPN baseball analyst Peter Gammons underwent brain surgery Tuesday after he was stricken with an aneurysm near his Cape Cod home.

The 61-year-old Gammons was resting in intensive care Tuesday night following the operation, The Boston Globe reported on its Web site.

Gammons was taken to a Cape Cod hospital Tuesday morning and then airlifted to a Boston-area hospital. The newspaper said he’s expected to be in intensive care for 10 to 12 days.

Gammons, a member of the writers’ wing of the Hall of Fame, has been a regular on ESPN’s Sunday night telecasts this season. He worked the Braves-Yankees game in New York on Monday night.

“Our thoughts and best wishes are with Peter and his family at this time,” ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said.

In the 1970s while at the Globe, Gammons popularized the style of baseball notes columns that became staples in Sunday newspapers.
