News Charlie Sheen Visits Yankees Practice, Receives Yankees Pitching Contract

Actor Charlie Sheen stopped by the New York Yankees spring training facility this morning to watch batting practice, shake some hands and take pictures.

Before leaving Sheen also played catch and was immediately offered a guaranteed, major league contract by Yankees general manager Brian Cashman when his fastball touched 70 mph.

"No way I was going to let that kind of arm leave here without putting on the pinstripes," said Cashman at a press conference announcing Sheen's signing of a 4-year, $78 million contract. "Pitching was our biggest deficiency, but I think Charlie steps right in as our No. 3 starter."

Sheen was a star pitcher for Santa Monica High School in the early '80s, but gave up a potential baseball career to pursue acting. He showed off his throwing arm in the 1989 movie Major League. Now 45 years-old and addicted to drugs, alcohol and prostitutes, Sheen's physical health was the envy of Yankee pitchers CC Sabathia, Joba Chamberlain and Bartolo Colon.

"Wow. I would do anything to be in as good of shape as that guy," said Sabathia, the team's 290-pound ace. "Well, anything short of diet and exercise."

Opinion The 10 Kids On Your Youth Basketball Team

The Rich Kid had gear that everyone envied. His sneakers cost $150. He wore authentic NBA and NCAA shorts to practice. His gym bag was bigger and more luxurious than your bedroom. Even his water bottle shamed yours. Which was appropriate because, while he dressed like an NBA player, his playing ability was close to water boy level.

Maybe his rich parents should have sprung for some instructional camps, too. Oh, they did? And a personal trainer, too? Wow, he was truly terrible at basketball.

While some kids watched Sesame Street or Baby Einstein as a baby, this kid was apparently raised watching AND1 Mixtape Tour tapes. He never saw a shot he didn't like and no one can remember if he ever threw one pass that wasn't a "no look" or behind-the-back pass.

He led the team in scoring, but he also led the team in shot attempts (by 150) and, if turnovers were tracked in biddy basketball, would have set a league record with 17.4 per game. But it's not how he filled up the stat sheet that everyone remembers. It's that one game when he had a breakaway layup and tried a 360 from the free throw line, only to airball the attempt 11-feet short of the rim.
