Former pitcher Kenny Powers finds himself out of baseball and reduced to teaching Phys Ed at the North Carolina school he once attended.

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.

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.
