sec159row2 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...i-sportsnew-hed Wickers reported missing Jim Walsh, RedEye Published July 13, 2005 Longtime Cubs fan Ronnie "Woo Woo" Wickers, known for his "Cubs, woo!" chant at Wrigley Field, was reported missing Tuesday, according to police. The 63-year-old was reported missing by his wife. He was last seen June 29 wearing a Cubs cap and a Cubs uniform, police spokeswoman Patrice Harper said. She said Wickers is "a habitual" missing person who "usually returns in about two weeks." His wife also reported his disappearance in October 2002. Wickers was home 12 days later, saying he felt ill and had decided to spend a few days out of town with friends out of state. In 1987 there were rumors Wickers had been murdered after missing some early season games. He was later found working as a pizza deliveryman and explained he couldn't attend the games because of his job.

knightni Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 The rumor was false. Ronnie isn't married, nor kidnapped, nor missing. Gee, that sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevHead0881 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Great. Now I can sleep. The big question is, why is this news? Is there something significant that this guy did that I don't know about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I feel sorry for the guy, to be honest. I can't help but feel bad when I see him. Anyway, where does he get the money to buy Cub tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 The Cubs let him in for free. What a BS article, I see that f***er in my neighborhood 2-3 times a week. He's not hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I don't know if the guy is on crack or not, but I know this: When I see the guy on the streets near my house, he moves very, very slowly and looks like he's about to fall over. Yet when he's at Wrigley, the guy is full of 'energy' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Update, my Cub fan co-worker says the call came from some crazy woman who doesn't even know Woo Woo. I guess the newspapers have been flooded with calls about Woo Woo sightings the past few days. I didn't realize it was that easy to fool the media. Hmmmmm, maybe we can have some fun at Ronnie's expense once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
