Globetrotters messing with Charley

I've got to say, on Charley Steiner Appreciation Day, I DO NOT appreciate the way the Harlem Globetrotters are treating Charley Steiner.

Film history

Charley played himself as an ESPN anchorman in this classic 1984 hit, which starred Scott Schutzman Tiler as "Boris" and Tim Kazurinsky as "Bart".


Movie won several awards, including:

* Best picture involving Charley Steiner (1984)

Charley on Vin Scully

In an interview with the Biz of Baseball's Maury Brown:


"The thing—and I say this all the time—I’ve learned so much from Vin. Not so much what he does on the air because nobody goes down Vin Scully Boulevard; that’s a one way street for him. But what I have learned is how he conducts himself as an icon. Watching him is like, whoa, geez! I don’t know how to describe it. He’s our Johnny Carson. He’s our Bob Dylan. He’s our John Lennon. He’s our Muhammad Ali. He’s the man."

Charley Steiner Appreciation Day

I hear Chaz is announcing Dodgers games these days. This doesn't concern me. What does concern me is why ESPN hasn't been able to find a guy like Steiner since The Bearded One departed.....

We'll be celebrating Steiner all day. Here's two videos from his ESPN days:
