Tony La Russa to arresting officer during DUI: 'Do you see my ring? I'm a Hall of Famer'

We’ve all heard the cliché about a celebrity getting stopped by a police officer and playing the “Don’t you know who I am?” card. If you thought nobody would actually be that desperate, new Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa is here to prove otherwise.

New details have emerged about his February DUI arrest, which was made public on Monday. ESPN’s Jeff Passan is now reporting that La Russa tried to big-time his way out of the arrest by showing the police officer his ring and bragging about being a baseball Hall of Famer.
