Ferrell Cabrera won it in 1986 and is back. Nobody in this building needs reminding how rare that is — most careers do not get one, and the men who get two tend to be the ones nobody argues about afterwards. It did not, in the end, come down to him alone — it never does. But the Nightshift won it 32-24, and a fortnight from now nobody will be able to describe this season without describing Sunday.

This feature ran in the paper in the Iron Jug of 1993. The rest of the season is there too.
