• Thoughts: Wanting to spend all his time with the Baltimore colts. Jeffrey said this inside his head on page 11, “Ballboy. A euphemism. The ballboy is jack-of-all-dirty-jobs in a football training camp. Pick up towels, pick up jock, launder socks, shine shoes, haul ice, sweep floor, be there before the players, stay late. Long hours, hard work—heaven.”
