In this episode of Old Guy Sports, the Old Guy and Miss Amy take a nostalgic trip through the golden age of sportswriting — back when writers traveled by train, filed stories over the wire, and turned games into literature.

From the poetic brilliance of Grantland Rice and Red Smith to the sharp wit of Jim Murray and Dan Jenkins, this episode explores the storytellers who helped generations of fans understand not just what happened in sports, but why it mattered.

The conversation dives into legendary newspaper eras, smoky press boxes, deadline pressure, clubhouse access, and the writers who stirred controversy while chasing the truth.

Along the way, Miss Amy keeps the Old Guy grounded with plenty of playful banter about typewriters, research obsessions, and his endless stack of sports books.
