Feckers who lived longer than expected, perhaps surprisingly

Hyman Roth

Hyman Suchowsky. In one of the scenes not included in Godfather 2 Clemenza introduces Hyman to Robert De Niro as Vito saying Hyman thinks he can fix their broken truck. Vito asks him his name and says he’s going to have to change it. Vito asks him who he looks up to the most and Clemenza lists some famous Italians. To Clemenza’s dismay Hyman says Arnold Rothstein. He’s a famous baseball player, who he mentions to Michael while watching the American football. The young Hyman’s only presence in the film is just after the landlord manages to unlock the shop door and they all go out to see the shop sign get lifted above the shop and nearly get hit by a passing car.

Arnold Rothstein wasn't a baseball player, he was a major criminal who supposedly fixed the 1919 World Series which led to Shoeless Joe Jackson, and several others, being banned for life.

Oh thanks. Yes Hyman does say in Godfather 2 Arnold Rothstein fixed the World Series. Both slippery feckers then.

There’s a bloke who’s dancing at the wedding in the first film who might be intended to be him, if he was an idea for a character in 1972 when the first film was made.

A bloke I know went on a so called team building exercise in the 80s which was paint balling against an office from Essex. Their instruction was, "Don't shoot until you see the whites of their socks".

Keep em coming lads. I’m flat on my back with a trapped nerve in my back until I see a cyropractor tomorrow. I need this sort of insane chat to cheer me up.
