ESPN baseball reporter Pedro Gomez dies

Last night, the Baseball world was shocked and saddened to learn from ESPN that long time baseball reporter Pedro Gomez Passed away Sunday at the age of 58.

MLB.com's Manny Randhawa has the details: "Gomez was one of the most beloved reporters in the game. He began his career with the Miami News, where he wrote from 1985-88. He then wrote for the San Diego Union from 1988-90, before becoming the Athletics beat writer for the San Jose Mercury News in '90.

From 1994-95, while still an Athletics beat reporter, Gomez was the national baseball writer for the Miami Herald. In '95, he remained on the A's beat, but moved over to the Sacramento Bee, where he wrote until '97, when he joined the Arizona Republic as a national baseball writer and sports columnist.

Gomez joined ESPN in 2003 and said his favorite event to cover was Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series between the Marlins and Cubs at Wrigley Field. In all, Gomez covered 25 World Series and 20 MLB All-Star Games."
