Charlie Sheen has made incredible contributions to the world of entertainment and comedy the last few days. But in 1996, he made arguably his greatest contribution to fandom by purchasing 2615 seats at an Anaheim Angels game to ensure he caught a home run ball.
Unfortunately for Sheen, the odds weren’t in his favor that day and he left empty-handed. The total cost of this ambitious endeavor? $6,537.50–or in Charlie’s world, four grams of coke, two hookers, and a hotel suite in West Hollywood.
Sheen and three friends sat alone, 20 rows up, and watched the California Angels-Detroit Tigers game, on the chance that someone—preferably Tigers slugger Cecil Fielder—might postmark a round-tripper to their vicinity. “I didn’t want to crawl over the paying public,” said Sheen, the hell-raising star of Hot Shots! Part Deux and other cinematic landmarks, in explaining why he bought up the 2,615 seats. “I wanted to avoid the violence.
Ah, that Charlie Sheen I tell ya, what a humanitarian. Wanting to avoid the violence that comes with that home run ball you’re about to steal from a 10-year old kid.
