I started working in newspapers in 1984. The era you speak of was long gone by then. Aside from Senior Circuit golfers, there’s are no athletes active today who knew those bygone times. These guys all grew up knowing the game: You get celebrity, and we get your ass if we can.
(I say “we,” only for the structure of the thought. I was out of the news business by 1992.)
