- <p> "It was something I'd look back on 10 years from now and
- regret not buying," says actor Charlie Sheen, who blew $93,500
- last week on a tobacco-stained bit of cowhide--the legendary
- "Mookie ball," fired off the bat of New York Met Mookie Wilson
- in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. Nanoseconds later, it flew
- through the legs of Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner,
- ultimately costing Boston the championship. It is a classic
- memory for millions of baseball fans--and for most of us,
- Charlie, the memory is enough.
