Charlie Sheen Celebrates Dodgers’ World Series Win During Memoir Tour

A spirited crowd at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Cabazon, California, erupted with enthusiasm on November 1, 2023, as the Los Angeles Dodgers tied Game 7 of the World Series. The audience, who had gathered for actor Charlie Sheen’s memoir tour promoting “The Book of Sheen,” shifted their excitement from the stage to the baseball game, highlighting Sheen’s passion for the sport.

Sheen, who is known for his fervent support of the Dodgers, arrived nearly an hour late to the event. Television host Billy Bush, a longtime friend of Sheen and the evening’s moderator, informed the audience that Sheen was backstage, engrossed in the game. He humorously asked if the audience was also following the match, which resulted in a resounding cheer.

The attempt to display the game on the venue’s monitors was thwarted by licensing restrictions. Bush then proposed a creative solution: what if Sheen joined the audience in watching the game on their phones? The crowd responded positively, eager to share the moment with the actor.

As the event unfolded, a highlight reel showcasing Sheen’s extensive career—including clips from “Two and a Half Men,” “Platoon,” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”—was played, setting the stage for Sheen’s eventual appearance. “Have you ever been in a predicament like this?” Bush asked. Sheen candidly replied, “No, I haven’t,” acknowledging the unique circumstances of the evening.

Despite the initial focus on the game, Sheen engaged with the audience, sharing stories from his memoir. He acknowledged the scheduling conflict with the World Series, noting that he had anticipated the possibility of overlapping events. “It is really impossible to pretend that I care about ‘Platoon’ or ‘Two and a Half Men’ right now,” he quipped, drawing laughter from the crowd.

As the game progressed, Sheen took out his phone to watch, encouraging others to do the same. Bush attempted to steer the conversation with questions about Sheen’s career, but the energy remained largely centered on the Dodgers’ performance. “I’m sure this feels like ‘Major League’ all over again for you,” Bush joked, referencing Sheen’s iconic role as a baseball player in the film.

The atmosphere reached a fever pitch when the Dodgers secured their victory in the World Series. The crowd erupted in applause, and Sheen celebrated by high-fiving fans wearing Dodgers gear. In a fitting tribute to the moment, he unveiled a can of his new nonalcoholic beer, Wild AF, joking that the “AF” stood for “alcohol-free.” He and Bush raised their cans in a toast to the Dodgers’ triumph, declaring it a night to remember.

The evening also provided a platform for poignant discussions. Audience members shared personal stories, including a mother seeking advice for her son struggling with addiction. Sheen offered heartfelt insights, emphasizing the importance of support and the possibility of change. “I believe that it’s never too late for a fresh start,” he stated.

Additionally, Sheen reminisced about his childhood, recalling trips to Dodgers games with his father, Martin Sheen, and his brother, Emilio Estevez. “It’s so appropriate to be here tonight to experience the Dodgers’ win together,” said Dolores Robinson, talent manager and a family friend, who spoke about their shared history with the team.

The event also included discussions about Sheen’s experiences in the entertainment industry, including near-misses for iconic roles. He candidly revealed that he nearly missed his breakout role in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” because he overslept. “I had to turn down the lead role for Karate Kid because I was committed to ‘Grizzly II: Revenge,’” he noted, reflecting on the unpredictability of Hollywood.

Towards the end of the evening, Sheen hinted at potential future projects, expressing interest in returning to acting. “The script for this is a gem,” he said, referencing a new sitcom in development with a writer from “Two and a Half Men.” He assured the audience that updates would follow soon.

As the night concluded, the excitement of the Dodgers’ victory and the personal stories shared created a memorable experience for those in attendance. The event not only celebrated a significant sports achievement but also offered a glimpse into Sheen’s journey, marked by both challenges and triumphs.
