Eastbound & Down — Season 3
Every kid has a baseball player to look up to. Kenny Powers is not that guy.
About this season
Picking up one year after Season Two, Kenny brings his boorish behavior to Myrtle Beach, SC and somehow resurrects his baseball career as the closer for the minor-league Myrtle Beach Mermen. Even as he postures himself as the new King of Myrtle Beach, Kenny struggles to come to terms with growing older, both in his personal life, and professionally with the arrival of some talented up-and-comers on the team.
