Lester Munson

Charlie Hustle:
The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose
by Keith O'Brien

Lester Munson has been a nationally-known commentator, former ESPN senior writer and legal analyst, and WTTW’s Chicago Tonight guest. In this annual visit to the program, he will share his thoughts on this new and epic treatment of the life of one of the most fascinating figures in sports history, from his dizzying heights to his calamitous lows, a tragic fall brought on by Rose’s hubris, arrogance, and compulsive gambling.

We have enjoyed large crowds and a loyal following for 34 years and are so pleased to offer programs again, after a two-year absence 2020-22.
Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke presented at the first program in 1987, and has been featured every season since. He returns in 2024.
