1986 Spoane Indians at the Mall - James Austin

 

James Austin pitched for three seasons in the major leagues, all with the Brewers. In 83 games, all in relief, he went 6-4 with a 3.06 ERA. For the past 22 years he has worked as an Emergency Services Coordinator at Belfor USA in Virginia.

Unfortunately the background is dark, so it is hard to tell where he is. It looks like he might be sitting on some exercise equipment, possibly for weightlifting. Whatever he is sitting on appears to be on some cardboard boxes, not the floor. According to the 1982 mall directory I used for the previous series, there weren't any sporting goods stores (other than shoe stores), so this is probably one of the three department stores in the mall - The Crescent, JC Penney or Newberry's.
