The match-up between the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs is a pretty epic World Series battle. Even more amazing are the Hollywood actors revisiting old characters that have relevance to the teams at play.
Charlie Sheen, who famously played rookie pitcher Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn in the 1989 baseball comedy/drama Major League, posted a brief clip Wednesday of Vaughn emerging from the bullpen.
Midway through the video, Sheen, now 51 years old, appears in an Indians jersey, along with Vaughn’s famous black-rimmed glasses and says, “Go Tribe!” in support of the team.
