Keith Olbermann Says Charlie Sheen is Acting Like Brian Wilson

Or maybe Brian Wilson has been acting like Charlie Sheen all along? It's hard to tell where the actors end and where the baseball players begin in this post-World Series, post-Academy Award media landscape. Luckily the former ESPN anchor and weepy MSNBC personality breaks it down in his Baseball Nerd blog [link and emphasis: ours]:

This "Tiger's Blood" stuff Sheen keeps spouting? That's a line of Wilson's.The original "Duh! Winning!" That's some more of Wilson's act/personality/delusion/repertoire.

The Wilson-Sheen connection has gotten some national attention but not nearly enough. Wilson visiting Sheen at his home last month received the usual tut-tutting and 'it's not a problem - right at the moment' from the Wilson and his team have insisted there was no wine, no women, only baseball (no Tiger's Blood) - and fictional baseball at that.

We have to disagree that Wilson is delusional - awesome maybe, but hardly delusional. Anyway, read on for more about the connection to Major League, a brief history of relief pitchers playing "Wild Thing" as they take the field and how "all Charlie Sheen ever wanted to do was be a major league baseball player."
