Actor Charlie Sheen, who played Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn in the 1989 movie "Major League," said he would love to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before one of this year's World Series games.
The World Series opens Tuesday in Cleveland.
Shortly after Cleveland won the American League pennant on Wednesday in Toronto, fans took to social media to make a case for Sheen to be part of the pregame festivities.
Sheen responded Thursday on Twitter, posting a photo of himself as Vaughn in his Indians uniform and writing, "Major League continues to be the gift that keeps on giving! if called upon, I'd be honored."
The Indians are making their first World Series appearance since 1997. Cleveland has not won a World Series since 1948. The Indians will face the winner of the National League Championship Series between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cubs own a 3-2 series lead.
