Any Kenny Powers Fans?!

[Canseco44]

Sorry for all the recent posts. I recently figured out how to post pics. Anyways, I'm a huge fan of the show East Bound and Down, and Danny McBride aka Kenny Powers. I saw this bat pop up on ebay and had to have it. Called Marucci for any help with it and a very nice guy remembers this exact bat! He made it for Blue Jays MILB player Ryan Schimpf and after him it was used by Sean Ochinko. Thats why RS is engraved on the knob and it is marked out and CHINK is written over it. It was used when they played for the Auburn Doubledays. Anyways, I have photomatched it and just a great story.

No, Ryan is friends with a guy who works at Marucci whose name is Kyle Ourso. Kyle sent it to him with his regular shipment of bats. He did it as a joke because Ryan always refers to himself as Kenny Powers. There are some great shots of Ryan using this bat on fourseamimages but I can't figure out how to post pics from that site. It is hammered with use and was used by another player named Sean Ochinko. I picked it up for only $75. I then contacted Marucci and Kyle got back with me and told me the whole story. Then I was able to find pics of Ryan using it.

And talk about a great wife. That poster is 5' x 6' and is on the wall beside our bed! She really is great. I just told her, "If you don't like it, change your mind!"

In grad school we would give power point presentations in one of our Sport Management courses, another student and myself would always see how many Kenny Power lines or photos we could sneak into our presentation without cracking a smile.

One of these days Kenny is going to make it back to the big leagues... Stevie just needs to help keep his head on straight.

That's a really unique story, just a really neat piece to have especially if you are a fan of the show like yourself.

How would you like to have the bat that Kenny auctioned on the show, that his former girlfriend, the teacher, secretly bought?

So far, I've only managed to collect a promo seat cushion from the show, the promo 4-card set (actually, ten sets...they came in a lot and were very cheap) and a Kenny Powers t-shirt: "If at first you don't succeed, then maybe you just suck." And the first season DVD, of course.

I would love to have that bat. I just watched that episode again and it looks to be a Louisville Slugger that actually is a Kenny Powers signature model! I can't tell what the writing above and below the name is. Can't wait for season three!
