Eastbound And Down - Season 3
The third season of Eastbound & Down follows Kenny Powers as he is back in the states for another shot at major league glory. 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. Playing in Myrtle Beach, Powers deals with the realities of growing older, taking on responsibility and separating his personal life from the game.
