I'm happy to report that Brett Myers and Charlie Sheen's character in "Major League" are actually the same guy.

I wondered for a while if Ricky "The Wild Thing" Vaughn could make a comeback after the flops that followed the original 1989 film. But he's been reincarnated in the form of Myers.

The Phillies right-hander doesn't just share Vaughn's personality. He showed off his unpredictability when he fired a fastball behind Manny Ramirez.

This came one batter after knocking Russell Martin down with another high-and-inside heater.

Despite a pair of heart-pulsing pitches, Myers retired the Dodgers in order, 1-2-3 in the first, including Ks on both Martin and Manny.

The fans approved of both his wildness and effectiveness. Wild Thing, you make their heart sing.
