Is that what he means by Tiger Blood?   Share Tweet
 
The Sheenius rocking the nerdiest steroid-abuser look in baseball history.

Charlie Sheen is back in the news and boy aren't we happy about it. Since most of what goes on in Charlie's life is eaten up, beaten, smeared, and dragged through celebrity gossip sites, we at The 'Gate like to hold ourselves to a higher standard and not discuss his character. But, rather, we'd like to address the fact that he admitted to using steroids while filming one of the best baseball movies of all time, Major League.

Don't recall Ricky Vaughn being too juiced up in the movie? Probably because you were too distracted by the sweet lightening bolts on the side of his scalp and the gut-wrenchingly awful smokers voice of Cleveland Indians manager Lou Brown screaming, "GIVE 'EM THE HEATER, RICK!"

But hearing this news must make you wonder... to pretend to throw a 90 MPH fastball, you gotta roid yourself up? That seems a bit excessive doesn't it?

We all know Pedro Cerrano was juicing for that film and now he just gets paid to wear tight-fitting sweater-vests and talk about one of the dozen insurances that nobody needs.  Still, all the pitchman work in the world won't make the general public forget that Cerrano's character was a jacked, cleanup hitter who couldn't hit a curve-ball and played with his balls.

Let's just say everyone was juicing during the filming of Major League... even Roger Dorn's wife. Hot damn. But does that mean we should be cool with it? Will Smith said he worked out six hours a day with weight training, running, and a healthy serving of pure ego waffles to prepare for Ali. Now that's the right way to get fit for a leading sports role in Hollywood.

So Sheen shot himself up with 'roids (and a myriad of other drugs) to play "Wild Thing", and according to his SI interview he believes that that baseball players should be allowed to juice.

Maybe Sheen is on to something. We all miss the days when Sammy and Mark were ripping the laces off the baseball and Lance was one-nutting it down the Champs-Elysees with the yellow jacket on.

Why not just give steroids the green light and test drive them in all the major sports? It's not like steroids are a gateway drug. Right, Charlie?

"I'm a purist so I don't mind a pitcher's duel ... But a lot of people go to the park to see a ball hit 600 feet. You can't do that without a little help."
Charlie Sheen explaining why steroids should be allowed in baseball.  He also believes that "base stealing" involves the theft of smokeable hard drugs.

Top 5 Actors Who Clearly Juiced to Play Their Role Share Tweet
 

5.  Ben Stiller in Dodgeball:

You could see his Peyton Hillis-like guns in ?Heavy Weights? but once you saw him gripping that dodge ball and whipping it at Vince Vaughn's mammoth head, you could tell he was drinking the Giambi Juice.

4. Dolph Lundgren in any movie he's ever been in:

He can be still be cast in any action role due to how jacked former Captain Ivan Drago was...

3. Bennie "The Jet" Rodriguez from The Sandlot:

It is pretty obvious that with the boys of the Sandlot there was one stud of the pack and it was The Jet. He was taller, faster, and looked like he was a dozen years older than Smalls and gang.

2. L.L. Cool J in Any Given Sunday:

According to reports from another singer in love with himself who starred in the movie (Jamie Fox) it sounds like Ladies Love Cool J was in a brawling mood during filming. A clear indication of roid rage, and a clear contradiction of the name "Cool James.

1. Rosie O'Donnell in A League of Their Own:

It might have been Madonna's rail-thin figure in contrast to Rosie's plumpness, but we think it's probably the fact that Rosie was pounding pumpers and didn't feel like actually exercising any muscles but her jaw. Rumor has it they wanted her to make the famous split pop-fly catch instead of Geena Davis but producers paid a lot for their vintage one-piece jerseys.
