You saw it...write it.

It's unavoidable: the aggressive reporters accosting players in the locker room, or just after when it's clear they just want to leave the stadium/ball park/ice rink/arena. In 1990, Major League pitcher Don Carman posted a handwritten list of responses on his locker, instructing reporters to 'take what you need'. From the Baseball Almanac:
