Controlled Chaos Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I was reading this article and saw this.. The legendary Ronnie "Woo Woo" Wickers woo-wooed a lot from behind home plate, high-fived the slackened hands around him, and posed for a photo with a newborn. When an elderly, ill-humored woman a few rows over finally snapped, "Would you sit down and shut up!" Woo Woo was for a moment crestfallen, then waved and responded, "I love you!" Killing her with Cubbiness. Couple things...How does this guy afford to be at spring training...Do the cubs pay for him to go? Who the f*** would want a picture with him let alone hand over their newborn to get one? Kudos to the old lady. I have no idea how I would handle it if woo woo was a Sox fan and doing his spiel the whole game. It would drive me absolutely nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautox Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 lol, cub fans need someone like woo woo in the stands to distract them from the car wreck they call a team on the field. surprised the royals and pirates haven't embraced someone like Woo to front their organization i mean honestly who cares about George Brett & Roberto Clemente; hey lets play two.

The Critic Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Andy the Clown and the Get Up Guy annoyed me every bit as much as Woo Woo does, but they probably didn't smell as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi Town Sox Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Funny story, Friday at the cubs vs sox game, he was about 20 rows behind me with this typical cubs woo cubs woo BS, i had my cubs sux shirt on and stood up and turned and started yelling sux over his famous WOO noise. The Sox fans around me started laughing and chanting along.....needless to say Ronnie (surprisingly) shot me a dirty look and walked away soon after. I loathe him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loathe him I've told a similar story on here before. Same situation, Sox/Cubs game at the Cell a few years ago. A Sox fan was following Ronnie around the park yelling: Boo Ronnie Boo Cubbies Boo Wrigley, over and over and over and over again. I saw him three different times during that game being followed by the same Sox fan and Ronnie looked irritated. Now I wouldn't spend my money and time following Ronnie around during a game, but it was still pretty hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Seeing him outside the Cell before Game 1 of the WS was stomach-turning enough. But seeing a couple of supposed Sox Fans fall all over themselves to get their picture taken with him was beyond pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Another funny moment from the Sox-Cubs spring training game, at least to me. Ronnie was doing his usual cheer, he was in the OF bleachers at the time where I was at and this Sox fan beside me yelled out to Scott "Hey Scott, you know he's saying Scott Po! Scott Po!" and then Scott turns around and starts laughing at the comment. Thought the comment was funny, but even funnier that players actually listen to what's being said from the stands.

Gregory Pratt Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Is he really homeless? How long's he been at his act? And how often does he go to Sox games? I never see him but maybe I don't look hard enough. I want to follow him yelling, Boo Ronnie Boo Cubbies Boo Wrigley, over and over and over and over again.

These are question nobody has been able to answer for me. What does Ronnie do for a living? How does he afford to go to these games? On a separate note, I find most Cub fans even think he is a nuisance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if he's related to someone with a whole lot of money. He's been doing this for years, correct? Someone is paying for plane tickets (to appear at spring training), washing his jersey, feeding him, paying for his admittance, etc. Maybe it's just a generous soul with excess money to spend. Even then, he has to be living somewhere during the winter. Wherever this mysterious location resides it's somewhere close to Wrigley Field -- where living isn't exactly cheap. I don't believe many strangers would willingly pay room and board for someone who provides nothing to this planet other than a few strange sounds.
