Sports Park To Be Named For Pro Football Player
August 5, 2008
A local sports complex will be named for a former pro football player.
The Showalter Park Expansion will now be known as the Anthony Pleasant Sports Complex after a vote Monday night by the Century Town Council. The 22 acre expansion to Showalter Park in Century is currently under construction.
Pleasant, a Century native, is a former pro football player selected in the third round of the 1990 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. During his 14 year NFL career, Pleasant played for the Browns, the Baltimore Ravens, the Atlanta Falcons, the New York Jets, the San Francisco 49ers and the New England Patriots.
He played a total of 202 NFL games and racked up 58 sacks and two interceptions and a defensive end.

I think it’s also important to speak of the Super Bowl Rings Anthony got while with the Patriots. I think he played in two that the team won and possibly worked with the team at another.
He’s also been involved with football clinics in Century and worked with children in his off seasons.
He is worthy for this expansion to be named for him. He is a credit to Century.
