Globe beat writer Peter Gammons started typing, 'And all of a sudden the ball was there, like the Mystic River Bridge, suspended out in the black of morning.' In 1975, typewritten pages were filed to the Globe on a telecopier, and it took six minutes for each page to transmit. Employing more than one telecopier, Gammons would file eight pages of new copy in 15 minutes. He was writing faster than the machines could transmit. -- Dan Shaugnessy
