It only took 8 short days to receive "The Mad Hungarian" Al Hrabosky's autograph in the mail. He signed a 1974 Topps baseball card for me. It arrived in the mail on May 23, 2025.
Al Hrabosky is known to have inspired the character of Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn played by Charlie Sheen in the movie "Major League".
His on-field "performance art," which included turning his back to the hitter, pounding the ball into his glove and psyching himself up, directly influenced the portrayal of Rick Vaughn's intense and wild demeanor on the mound.
