Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn
Was he a closer? Was he a starter? No need to ask these tough questions. The fact that he makes an entrance from the bullpen during a life-or-death playoff game is something that the viewers decided not to question. Instead, fans of the movie Major League jumped out of their seats when Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn strutted out to the mound to save the game against a hitter with a history of lighting him up. How cool would it be to have a player like that to root for? Major League Baseball could use a Rick Vaughn today. He might help them fill seats and distract fans from a particular cheating scandal that may or may not have altered the outcome of a World Series.
