Tune in for this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Mike Brzezinski, Mike Barnicle and Carolyn Ryan as they reflect on an epic piece of sports journalism by the legendary Boston Globe staffer Peter Gammons, who wrote on deadline after the 12-inning battle between the Boston Red Sox and the Cincinnati Reds in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series. “Gammons just put his head down, wrote like a demon. You could have shot a gun next to him, and it wouldn't have interrupted what he was doing…It's a piece of literature…and it's not the first time Peter did it. But he wrote that under immense pressure, obviously. I am like two chairs away from Peter in the press box, and I’m twiddling my thumbs trying to figure out how to write about Pete Rose the next day,” says Barnicle about his experience watching Gammons work.
