Eastbound & Down

Former pitcher Kenny Powers finds himself out of baseball and reduced to teaching Phys Ed at the North Carolina school he once attended. Wreaking havoc both at school and at the home of his brother Dustin where he crashes, the loutish, foul-mouthed Kenny plots his return to the majors . . . while trying to win back his former high-school squeeze April, now a teacher engaged to principal Terrence Cutler.

Spurned by the big leagues and humiliated in his own hometown, Kenny Powers is heading south of the border to lick his wounds--and plot a comeback that might just land him back in the spotlight. In the wake of a bogus pitching offer, Kenny takes up residence in a small Mexican town and prepares to fashion a comeback scenario that involves a local baseball team and its filthy-rich owner.
