Steve Phillips, a popular baseball analyst and former New York Mets general manager, has been suspended by ESPN after his affair with Brooke Hundley, a 22-year-old production assistant, came to light, reported The New York Post . His wife, Marni, has filed for divorce.

The Post detailed that Phillips admitted to having sex with Hundley several times last summer before ending the relationship. But in retaliation a jilted Hundley repeatedly phoned Phillips' wife saying, "We both can't have him!" the Post reported. Hundley also reportedly contacted Phillips' 16-year-old son on Facebook while posing as a high-school classmate.

"I have extreme concerns about the health and safety of my kids and myself," Steve Phillips said in a police statement, adding that the woman became "obsessive and delusional" after he left her. But Phillips, 46, declined to pursue criminal charges against Hundley.

The Post has posted  the statement Phillips made to police, and one from his 40-year-old wife Marni , about alleged harassment from Hundley. A copy of the letter Hundley left at Phillips' home in Connecticut is also posted online.

Phillips has been suspended for one week, though neither ESPN nor Phillips have issued any statements on the scandal.

In 1998 Phillips, then general manager of the Mets, admitted to having an affair with with a female team employee, Rosa Rodriguez. Phillips left the Mets in 2003.

The sports media world has been all over this story. Sports Web site Deadspin pointed readers to an ESPN online chat with Phillips scheduled for Wednesday at 1 p.m. ET. The WEEI radio Web site  posted photos of Phillips and Hundley together.

The New York Daily News reported that Hundley, a 2008 graduate of Ithaca College, has worked at HBO, ABC and NBC Sports as well as ESPN.
