Sometime during yesterday afternoon, Pete Rose came up on an e-mail chain I’m on, at which point one of best friends relayed this story:
Pete Rose Gets Charlie Hustled
↵I was at my uncle’s restaurant for the 1995 Final Four and he was sitting there and my uncle went to introduce me and my brothers. Pete said unless we were each willing to pay 500 for his autograph he wouldn’t sign. My uncle told him that he couldn’t charge his family in his restaurant so he either had to sign or leave the restaurant. He left as his food came, stiffed the tab...↵So, yeah. Pete Rose: great baseball player, iconic levels of badass, and kind of a bastard.
↵Which made it all the more satisfying when this video emerged over at The Sporting News. From the movie Bruno, a deleted scene starring none other than Charlie Hustle, himself:
↵
↵Things to love about this video:
- ↵↵“You don’t understand, this is very uncomfortable for this guy... So get another guy in here!”
- ↵When he re-directs his human seat. “Other way, other way.”
- ↵His only objection to the food is that it’s got hair on it. Not, you know, that it’s being served on a 200 pound, naked Mexican.
↵Finally, his confused and annoyed “So, when do I get my check?” look that he’s got throughout. That’s great.
↵↵Can you say Hall of Fame???
