Singing hot dog guy from Comerica Park gets an ESPN story

If you've ever had the opportunity to sit in the 100 section of Comerica Park, there is no way you could miss the singing hot dog guy. His operatic renditions of "Hooooootttttttt Doooooggggggg" will either put a smile on your face or make you send an email to complain. Either way, it's unique to the Tigers experience. Also, he actually has a name: Charley Marcuse.

Excerpt from ESPN:

"They are kind of humorous, I can say that much," Behr said of fans' complaints. "Obviously, fans are here to see the players, not be entertained by us."

Marcuse now limits his singing to after the Tigers have batted and before the opposing team bats at the top of an inning.

"It's been agreed to he's not going to do it when the Tigers are batting," Behr said. "We don't need to distract the home team."

But the restrictions end there.

"Have we told him to shut it down? No," Behr said. "He just has to realize fans are here to see the game."

Marcuse insists he gets it, and just tries to add a little flavor -- literally -- between innings.

"People out there constantly are begging me to sing and asking me to sing, but they're not the ones writing letters," he said. "So, now I don't sing as much as I once did, but I still sing quite a bit. I think it works for everybody."
