... name of the reporter, but hints that he or she is award-winning and highly-skilled. It's a nice reminder of the plight of our beat writers, who not only face resistance from the players, but instability in the profession. Stuff like this happens constantly, but is rarely reported, and with good reason. They'd be blackballed forever and never get another interview.

... Beat writers have a specific job and it's worthy of our respect and admiration. I've never bought into "they get to see games for free" as reasons to dismiss the obstacles they are prone to run up against. No job, even a job you love in a field you voluntarily entered, is without its drawbacks. Beat writers — and the Mets have several consistently good ones covering them — bring a valuable perspective to what we the fans know and might want to know. I wouldn't have that Redding "six inches" quote above if an AP reporter hadn't written it down. ...
