Charley Marcuse has made a bit of a career of belting out tunes at the top of his lungs at Detroit Tigers games- as a singing hot dog vendor. He's done it for 15 years at Tiger Stadium and Comerica Park and is either revered or reviled for his approach...
Like this...
But, after a 10-minute meeting with the folks who run the vending operation at Comerica, Marcuse got fired.
“It was general employee conduct,” he told Tony Paul of the Detroit News, relaying the reason he was given. “I’ve vended the same way for the past 15 years, so there’s nothing new to any of this.”
There's talk that Marcuse was fired for not putting ketchup on his hot dogs and allegedly squawking if anyone wanted ketchup on their dogs in the first place. He has always maintained that mustard and mustard only is the way...
Which the HQ has a lot of merit behind in the argument...
But there is also no secret that the Tigers thought his singing was a distraction and you could hear his tunes on the microphones that FS Detroit was using for their broadcasts...
So, there are a lot of theories. But we may never know the reason that creativity was stifled in Detroit...
