Default Babe Ruth's 1927 WS Ring

I'm sure most of you are well aware of Charlie Sheen's recent 'tirade'...
To make things short, he registered a twitter account yesterday and started posting random pics including this one I thought would appeal to baseball ring and Yankees collectors ( I'm not one btw )

Charlie's wearing a 1927 Babe Ruth ring and what I suppose is a pretty expensive watch...

When he flew in all those all players to hang out with him (Zeile, E. Murray, etc.), they watched Major League and he allowed all the players to pass it around and wear the ring, it was reported. I know some of his collection was sold through Lelands over the years, I wonder how much of it he still has left and when he soon perishes, where it will end up. :-)

"when he soon perishes..."

Dan- I was kind of thinking the same thing myself. Very sad situation.

How can you not love this guy? If that's Ruth's actual '27 WS ring I think I've fallen in man love with Sheen. What a legend.

Miller Huggins, a Hall of famer and teammate, had the same ring and it sold in Mastro Auctions in 2007. With the juice, the ring sold for $170,000.00.

I had not heard of Ruth's ring in the hobby. I can't imagine what that would sell for.

The watch looks like a Patek Phillippe triple date? I think they sell new for around $50,000 in solid gold.

That watch is actually a Patek 2438 or possibly a 2498 - vintage perpetual calendars. Both are extremely rare and would bring upwards of $500K in auction.

Drug abusing, obnoxious, wallowing in self denial, wallowing in self pity, got suckered in an autograph scam, treats women like dirt,,,
just a few reasons not to love him.
George Clooney, when he is not making movies, tries to actually save peoples lives.
Charlie Sheen, when he is not involved in his screen life, is destroying lives, including his own.

I was thinking the same thing. I bet that watch is worth more than the one I got at Rite Aid.

I'll go ahead and disagree with you on this. Fact of the matter is you have absolutely no clue how he treats people or what's in his heart. Your arbitrary and sanctimonious judgment of Sheen is both ignorant and embarassing.

I'd like to know more about this autograph scam though.

How can you call this guy a legend? He's a self destructive idiot.

Keith Olbermann's take on Charlie Sheen...

http://keitholbermann.mlblogs.com/ar...f_charlie.html

Charlie Sheen is doing an impersonation of Brian Wilson.

Not the Beach Boy, the San Francisco Giants’ relief pitcher. The one with the beard dyed so absurdly dark that light will not escape it. The one who hit the late night circuit over the off-season dressed up as a kind of SoCal/Rex Harrison version of “The Ghost” from “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.”

At the start, I want to promise I am rarely going to devote space here to baseball or Charlie Sheen. On the other hand, I’m technically on vacation and this rather important sidelight to an enduring, and enduringly strange, story, has not gotten much attention.

This “Tiger’s Blood” stuff Sheen keeps spouting? That’s a line of Wilson’s.The original “Duh! Winning!” That’s some more of Wilson’s act/personality/delusion/repertoire.

The Wilson-Sheen connection has gotten some national attention but not nearly enough. Wilson visiting Sheen at his home last month received the usual tut-tutting and ‘it’s not a problem – right at the moment’ from the baseball world. Wilson and his team have insisted there was no wine, no women, only baseball (no Tiger’s Blood) - and fictional baseball at that:

“They could’ve asked any other closer, but Rick Vaughn asked for me,” Wilson said. “When Rick Vaughn picks up the bullpen phone, you answer.”

That’s the deal here, of course. All Charlie Sheen ever wanted to do was be a major league baseball player. He has portrayed at least two of them on film: ‘Rick Vaughn’ from “Major League,” and one of the ill-fated corrupted players of the 1919 World Series, Happy Felsch, from John Sayles’ “Eight Men Out.” Vaughn was the fast-throwing, fast-living relief pitcher who entered each game to the sound of The Trogs’ ’60s hit “Wild Thing.”

This unleashed the proverbial life imitating art stuff. Soon, actual relief pitchers began to be accompanied by their own songs. Mitch Williams of the Cubs and later Phillies became known as “Wild Thing.” Brian Wilson’s entire ‘weird reliever’ persona owes in some part to Sheen’s portrayal. Now, in life imitating imitated art, Sheen is issuing online videos faster than Mubarak or Khaddafi, and trying to act like Wilson:

One of the people he said he wished he could be for ten minutes was Giants pitcher Brian Wilson. Sheen went on to mumble something about Wilson delivering “fury, vengeance, hatred and absolute world domination,” then bowed his head in silence for the man, for some reason.

At one point in his life, in what in retrospect seems like an almost tender time, Sheen got as close as he could to baseball by trying to buy up all the great memorabilia. In 1992 he outbid several collectors (myself included) for the baseball that went through Bill Buckner’s legs and decided the 6th Game of the 1986 World Series. Less publicly, he amassed an extraordinary card collection and had most of it housed in individual plastic holders made in the form of richly-bound books. Then there was a divorce or something and he wound up selling nearly all of it (the “Buckner Ball” included) at a loss.

I’d like to thank him belatedly for the T206 Collins Proof card, by the way.

But back to the point. There is something bizarrely baseball-related to this Ultra Mid-Life Crisis through which Charlie Sheen, or Charlie Sheen as Rick Vaughn, or Charlie Sheen as Brian Wilson, is passing.

I’m not blaming Wilson or anything. I just think we need to remember that when you grow a beard that looks like it was a prop discarded by Monty Python’s Flying Circus, you never know what the consequences might be. The Giants’ reliever might just want to warn people – especially Sheen – not to try drinking Tiger’s Blood at home.
