Ironically, both are nicknames given to me by the wifey.... I thought it was Mitch Williams who they called Wild Thing (though...probably a dozen players got that after Major League and Ricky Vaughn came out) FYI....Charlie Sheen actually throw a baseball at approaching 90 mph. OK, he apparently was able to get up to about 85 mph....but like many others of that era when the movie came out.....he juiced up: http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Charlie-Sheen-Juiced-Major-League-33163.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
