Sportswriters had to be creative in pre-Internet era

Check out the last four paragraphs of this Dave Anderson column about the era of train travel for sports teams.

It's a great story about the lengths sportswriters sometimes had to go to to file their stories in the middle of the 20th century.

While it's not as cool as Dave's story, I did once file a high school basketball story on a TRS-80 Model 100 from a pay phone on a Brooklyn sidewalk on a 10-degree night by balancing the computer on my right knee as I used my hands to keep the telephone pressed into my couplers.

I had not yet been issued my company BlackBerry at that time.
