Every kid has a great ballplayer they look up to, Kenny Powers is not that guy!

Eastbound and Down premiered on HBO on February 15 2009

About the show:
Arrogant, washed-up big league pitcher Kenny Powers thought he'd scored a shot at a comeback in the majors, but the offer turned out to be bogus. Now, having left his North Carolina life behind, he's making a fresh start in a small Mexican town, where he can both nurse his wounds and bless the locals with his awesomeness.

Eastbound & Down tells the story of Kenny Powers, who used to be a star pitcher until his self-destructive behaviour knocked him out of major League Baseball. In the first season of the series, he returned home to North carolina to teach Phys Ed at the middle school he once attended, and eventually scored another big league job offer - or so he imagined.
