OAKLAND – There will be a new look this season for Sean Doolittle, a bit of Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn creeping into real baseball.
Doolittle, who has treated his chronic poor eyesight with contact lens through the early stages of his career, has taken to wearing new glasses, and not the classic frump glasses that Charlie Sheen styled as the Wild Thing in “Major League.”
It’s likely they will get their first full public viewing Monday evening when the A’s and the Angels assemble along the base lines for the tradition pre-season introduction.
These glasses are black and sleek, more befitting a villain from the next movie sequel out of the Marvel Comics mold.
