Fans of John Axford may know that he is quite the film buff. On twitter this weekend he had a lot to say about the Oscars and correctly picked 11 out of 13 winners. He majored in film in college at Notre Dame and even shot his own 16MM film with some friends while they were there.
His love affair with film doesn't stop there either. In an interview with Adam McCalvy, John said that he has "lots of stories" in his head and foresees himself taking a shot at film in the future.
What you may not know is that John Axford has already started preparing for his post-baseball career in Hollywood. In fact, we have recently acquired a few pages from John Axford's spec script that he has been working on during the offseason. I can't 100% confirm it's validity, but it was sent to me by someone who identified themselves to me as "one of johns bros from notre dam bro" so I think it's pretty legit.

INT. THE WHITE HOUSE - DAY
We have to get those launch codes back. If they get into the wrong hands we could be looking at World War 3!
Don’t worry we have our best man on it Mr. President.
You damn well better have your best man on it!
Keep your voice down in my office. I have full trust in the Army to save our country.
Thank you Mr. President. The soldier we’re sending to take care of this is the best I’ve ever seen. He won’t let us down. He’s saved this country many times before and he’ll do it again.
Who is he?
JON MAXFORD, late 20s with a sweet mustache, is being interviewed by a smoking hot blonde INTERVIEWER in the locker room following a baseball game. Everyone is spraying champagne and celebrating in the background.
Jon, you just led your team, the Milwaukee Grewers, to a victory in game seven of the World Series by hitting four solo homeruns and pitching a complete game shutout. How does it feel right now?
(super humble)
It feels pretty good. You know, I couldn’t have done this without my teammates. I’m just happy for the city of Milwaukee.
(clearly attracted to Jon)
And boy are they ever happy to have you too! Tell me Jon you just won the World Series and were crowned World Series MVP after a regular season where you won the MVP and Cy Young awards, what are you going to do now?
I’m going to Disneyland mama!
The Boss of the Army is sitting in a car with the SUPER SOLDIER who looks EXACTLY LIKE Jon Maxford, sweet mustache and all.
You’re going to go in there, check in and head for the Ax Airlines terminal to Disneyland, Florida. Their man will meet you there.
What will they look like, sir?
I don’t know. They said they would find you. You’re kind of hard to miss with that sweet mustache.
Thank you sir.
Save the pleasantries for later we got a country to save!
Yes sir. I won’t let America down!
Jon Maxford is waiting for his flight when he is swarmed by fans looking for autographs. A few feet away the Super Soldier is walking towards the terminal.
Oh my god Jon I am your biggest fan! Please sign my baby’s head!
Okay br--
Someone call a doctor!
A DOCTOR
I am a doctor and there is nothing I can do. That crash was fatal. He’s dead.
Wait! There must be a misunderstanding! I didn’t do anything bro!
Are you him?
Uhh, yeah. I’m Jon Maxford. World Series MV--
No names! What are you crazy?
Oh sorry. Do you guys want an autograph or something?
Autograph?! We want our one billion dollars!
Is this a joke?
Does it look like we’re joking? Here take these codes and tell us where to go get the money.
I don’t know what you’re --
The door to the private room is kicked in and twenty four men rush in! A HUGE fight breaks out with Jon caught in the middle. He busts out a few karate moves to knock out most of them, but then a beautiful blonde SUPERMODEL grabs him.
Come with me if you want to live!
Whatever you say mama.
The two leave, running out of the airport and into a waiting limo.
Woah, that was crazy.
SUPERMODEL
Yes it was. I am very excited now. Perhaps we should....
Not so fast. Do you have my codes?
Uhhh, I think so bro. They’re right here in this briefcase.
Excellent. Now we can blow up Canada and start World War 3.
No way bro! I will never do that!
Is it just me or does this movie look awesome?
