Malewitz, seen here with beautiful girlfriend Katherine McMullen, will get one last chance to relive the glory days. He will come up short, but he'll be firing.
One year removed from weakly gounding out in his last collegiate at bat, unheralded and scoliosed Division III catcher-turned journalist Jim Malewitz still has nothing to prove. Really, he doesn’t.
But for one day this summer, he will put down his notebook, pick up a bat and pretend that he does.
He and star German baseball Spieler and fellow journalist, Christoph May, will futily try out for the Detroit Tigers.
May, a native of Bad Hersfeld, Germany, looks to give Americans a clinic on their own pastime.
On June 23, Malewitz and May will ditch the cornfields of Iowa for one last day in the sun, in the unedited, un-filmed and anticlimactic drama, “Post Script: For the hell of it.”
Will they injure their pride? Most likely. But they will certainly live to blog about it.
*This real life drama has been rated PG for mild bilingual swears and significant bromance.
