Anvils

They got Anton Eastwick Jr. back. He looked like he never left — 27.7 points.

15,343 yards over ten seasons. Ninety-three touchdowns. 159 games. He got to 2,202 once. Not this time. For four clubs.

He is thirty-one, out of Osaka, Japan. Ask anybody: he would rather be almost anywhere else on a Tuesday. He was converted from quarterback, which he was not good enough at.

Anvils, 1-4, and five weeks gone. Gideon Jeffries Jr. is new. There is one year left on the deal.

He has worn the same undershirt since his rookie year and had it repaired twice, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 5 of 1986. The rest of the season is there too.
