BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) -- An ESPN spokesman says the sports network has fired the production assistant whose affair with baseball analyst Steve Phillips led to his termination. Spokesman Mike Soltys said Monday that Brooke Hundley was fired. He declined to say when she was fired or why. Hundley did not immediately return a phone message, and no one answered the door at her home in Bristol on Monday. Connecticut-based ESPN fired Phillips on Sunday night, less than a week after he admitted to an affair with the 22-year-old assistant. A representative for Phillips has also said he is entering a treatment facility. ESPN says Phillips' ability to be an effective representative of the network had been "irreparably damaged." Phillips is a former general manager of the New York Mets. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
