Actor Charlie Sheen has confessed he took steroids while playing a baseball star in the film "Major League."
Bing: Charlie Sheen to play president
The lifelong baseball fan used the film to perfect his own game and took steroids to better his pitching skills. He tells Playboy magazine, "I wanted to put a little zip on my fastball. I didn't want to look like I was lily-arming it up there. I was always a hit-the-spots, low-zone pitcher, but my character, Ricky Vaughn, is a flamethrower. With steroids I went from a modest 78 mile-per-hour to a decent 85, which on film can be made to look in the 90s."
