A fictional Indians pitcher could throw out the first World Series pitch

When you talk about the greatest baseball movies ever made, “Major League” has to make the list. But it has a special place in the hearts of Cleveland Indians fans, since it’s about a crappy Indians team beating the odds and making it to the World Series. And now that their non-crappy team is headed to the World Series, some fans want to make “Major League” part of the opening game festivities.

Charlie Sheen played pitcher Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn in “Major League,” and the thing he’d “be honored” to do is throw out the first pitch of Tuesday’s World Series opener in character as Vaughn.

Okay, that sounds amazing. What better way to celebrate the return of the World Series to Cleveland than with a first pitch thrown by one of the most indelible fictional pitchers of all time? The crowd will already be totally pumped, but imagine how insane they’ll be when “Wild Thing” starts blaring over the speakers and Charlie Sheen, decked out in his stirrups and glasses, emerges from the bullpen.

This has to happen. If not for Game 1, then Game 2. The team itself would have to approve and put everything together, but how could they say no to the chance to make a fictional Cleveland baseball moment into a real Cleveland baseball moment? Hopefully they won’t.
