If Charlie Sheen has his way, the crack of the bat will be the only crack the UCLA baseball team experiences.

TMZ cameras caught the troubled but high-spirited star giving an "inspirational" anti-drug spiel to the jocular jocks: "Stay off the crack, drink chocolate milk, enjoy your moment." Talk about a wisecrack!

As you might have expected, Sheen wasn't exactly invited to the Bruins' practice.

UCLA Sports Information Director Marc Dellins tells E! News, "The story circulating made it sound like UCLA invited Charlie down to speak to the team about not using drugs, but that's not what happened at all. Charlie was getting in some hitting time on the field with a few major leaguers and as they were finishing up, the baseball team was getting ready to start practice.

"As he was walking by, he saw the team and stopped to say hi. It was an impromptu thing."

Sanctioned or not, we think Charlie is clearly demonstrating once again that laughter is the best medicine, no prescription required.
