Charlie Sheen Hints at Throwing Out First Pitch Before Game 7 of World Series vs Cubs

The Cleveland Indians are making Wild Thing's heart sting.

Charlie Sheen desperately wants to throw out a ceremonial first pitch before a World Series game in Cleveland. He believes that much is owed to him because he portrayed an unhinged fictional Indians player (Ricky Vaughn) in a couple of Major League movies over 20 years ago.

Let's just go ahead and say it: Charlie Sheen doesn't have a whole lot else going for him these days. He needs this.

But through the first three Cleveland home games in the series, Sheen received no such call. This seemed to irk him.

But, yes, it appears Sheen used a picture of goats at Progressive Field to hint at cursing the Indians in favor of the Cubs. This is to say that if the team didn't take a final opportunity to enlist his services prior to the decisive Game 7 on Wednesday night, it won't be #winning the World Series.

Is it possible that such a threat struck enough fear into the hearts of the team's shot-callers that they decided to phone the Wild Thing? This picture tweeted by Sheen on Wednesday morning seems to hint as much..

I think it would be hilarious and really get the fans going. The song WILD THINGS starts playing loud, the fans start singing it, and out walks Charlie with his horn rimmed glasses. Then the funniest thing would be he takes off his glasses, squints then throws the ball ten feet over the catcher’s head.

FWIW, I’d rather see Emilio Estevez’s brother throw out the first pitch than watch Pete Rose discuss and analyze the game from the broadcasters’ booth.

Wild THING, NOT things. Written by Jon Voight’s brother.

James Wesley Voight (born March 21, 1940), better known by the stage name Chip Taylor

When he gave it to the Trogg’s producer he told him to never tell anyone that he had written it.

He had years and years of debauchery which i’m sure he enjoyed very much.

If I was him, I’d pray to God for forgiveness and prepare to meet his maker.

Kinds sucks that he got to have all that fun and will be forgiven if he asks! :) jk

Though nowhere near his level, I was no angel when I was younger. And I paid a price.

I now bow to God as fighting him all those years proved he is the winner :)

He thought they wanted him to throw out Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton.

Wild Thing was based on a real baseball player.
