ESPN remembers SportsCenter reporter Pedro Gomez, who passed away unexpectedly today at the age of 58. http://es.pn/3q0mK3Q

Heartbreaking news. One of the country's best baseball journalists, but always repped Miami. Alum of Coral Park High, Miami-Dade Community College and University of Miami. Thinking of Pedro's wife Sandra, their boys Rio and Dante, and daughter Sierra tonight. #RIP mi amigo.
@hbbtruth
Yes, heartbreaking. As someone who grew up in #SoFL and left #Miami to find great success + universal respect, Pedro was the antithesis of all the know-it-all media types (we hate) who've been claiming to know Miami since the 1960's. He knew what OUR history/reality was bec he lived it.

.@JeffPassan provides us w/video that's #PedroGomez in a Nutshell. Growing up in #SoFL w/friends w/relatives who'd been imprisoned by Castro, yet STILL talked longingly abt returning to a free #Cuba every time I saw them, well, his words are spot-on.
@JeffPassan
This is from Pedro’s trip to Cuba in 2016. If you want to know who he was, just watch this video. He loved his family, his heritage, baseball. He was just full of love for everyone.

I'll be adding to this post about Pedro Gomez over the next day or so as more anecdotes and thoughts come to mind and get better clarified in my head, so that I don't write all the things I'm currently thinking and feeling right now, so please come back to this post every so often this week to get caught up and possibly find out some things you may not have known.
Seems like I have been hearing his enthusiastic, positive voice coming out of a TV or a radio forever.
And now, no more.
