Where Are They Now?

With the Fall classic quickly approaching, I feel it is necessary to open up the video vault and relive the timeless and poignant film Summer Catch. Considered to be a cinematic masterpiece Summer Catch brought together every young and upcoming star it could find. The basis of the film revolves around the Cape Cod Summer Baseball League, and through thorough research from Cinema Talk we found out that these characters happen to have actual baseball careers. In this rags to riches tale some succeeded, most failed and Brian Dennehy managed his way out of baseball and acting in one fell swoop.

Ryan Dunne- The hometown hero who can best be described as hard throwing lefty who can bring the heat on and off the field. Originally Dunne was supposed to be the next big thing until one night of debauchery led to him being dealt a 'Full Weasely.' Dunne was able to conquer his demons at the Cape Cod Baseball League and landed himself a lucrative deal with Phillies. Following a successful stint in Philly that included have a sub 6 era, Dunne hit it big with a massive contract from the Washington Nationals. Unfortunately, Dunne's career did not have a happy ending. Dunne invested all of his money in the game 'Jump to Conclusions Mat,' quite possibly the worst idea I've ever heard. To cover his losses while he was still playing Dunne moonlighted as a street pharmacist, but due to the burden he had Dunne developed massive anxiety issues that became all to Willie Beamin like or maybe for the old timers he was 'McNowning' it. Currently Dunne's occupation can be described as drifter or is that Cade's job, I don't even know anymore.

Billy Brubaker- The catcher with the heart of gold and the swing of the seven year old. Known as 'Bru' he struggled with the switch to wood bats and never could get his stroke back. He never made it to the show and spent a career toiling in the minors. Upon dealing with this shame and realizing this aint no place for the weary kind Bru became a sexual deviant, spending his free time at the Playboy Mansion stealing Hef's and Timmy Couch's girlfriends, that resulted in a lifetime ban from the Mansion, or was that Mr. McNown.

Eric Van Leemer- Considered to be the real and only talent of Summer Catch Van Leemer had it all a hard throwing righty with a nasty slider, not to mention a flowing mane of bleach blonde tips. After a long holdout Van Leemer eventually signed with the Dodgers and was able to put together a few good seasons. All did not end well as Van Leemer failed MLB's Substance Abuse Policy (To Lambo for ya). He was also accused of being involved in a point shaving scandal, but then again that could have been Cade. There we have it three McNown references also known as the 'Turkey.' This is quite possibly the first and last time McNown has been referenced since 1999. Thanks for the memories Cade.

Your welcome.
