Chuckie is a CLASSLESS A$$!
Chuckie is a CLASSLESS A$$!
Last summer I went to Yankee Stadium with 2 of my fellow Teamster buddies. We were in section 208, 2nd deck just on foul side of the foul pole 1st base side. We had stand up to let two guys get to their seats to left of us, 5 seats down in the same row. A few minutes later I looked over and noticed one of them was Chuckie Schumer.
They were both wearing NYPD polo shirts in Bermuda shorts. It was hot, about 95 degrees. Chuckie took off his shoes and put is feet up on the seat in front of him. I told my friends who that guy was in our row. They never heard of him (we are from CT) and not political. I told him he was a Senator from NY. One of my buddies replied to me looking at Chucks bare feet," Well then he must own the place"(Yankee Stadium). We busted out laughing.
Minutes later, Schumers buddy went to get some beers, as he walked by me on the way back I asked if that is Senator Schumer. He said "Yes it is, come over and say Hi.
By that time his daughter and her husband sat in the seats between us. I did not want to bother him because family was there. Nobody was glad handing him during the game and there was no security detail. Only one other person recognized him and he high fived him as he left after the 8th inning. Yankees lost the game to the Red Sox.
His bare feet on the seat in front of him showed what kind of class he has.
