You might have to do a double take when you see a certain returning softball player this upcoming season…….
Just back from a three month stay in sunny and warm Florida with wife Dorothy, STEVE EPPSTEIN went on a proteins only diet and has lost an amazing 30 pounds!!!!!
CONGRATS go out to the veteran of many many years in the Jewish Community Center Softball League!!!!!!!!!
Now the real test will be IF he can survive Wednesday nights after the games at the Silver Springhouse Restaurant where in past years, he would eat his fair share of chicken wings…..and don’t forget about those trips to United Dairy Farmers for those donuts……
