Representatives of Ronnie "Woo Woo" Wickers have contacted Hardball to voice their protest over a recent Tribune story that quoted Cubs president John McDonough as saying there has been no ban of Wickers at Wrigley Field. The Woo camp says that Wickers was not allowed to sit in a box seat at Wrigley during a game in May, and has provided the Tribune with names and phone numbers of eyewitnesses. When contacted by the Tribune and told of the information provided by the Woo camp, McDonough said: "As far as I know, there is not a No-Woo Zone at Wrigley." We'll keep you updated on this saga as more evidence comes to light.
the fewer shrieking idiots at the oark, the better, there's already enough people there that have no idea nor concern with what's occuring on the field without adding this boob to the mix. good riddance, i say.
I'd rather they ban the annoying creatures who know nothing about baseball, who talk throughout the game on their cell phones, who get up every inning to go buy some food or souvenirs, who don't know any players other than Z, Lee, and Ramirez. Ronny Woo Woo is a TRUE Cubs fan!
Well, here's a long-brewing public relations nightmare for the Cubs: banning the African American (non-player) most closely associated with the team. Ronnie can be annoying as hell, but can the Cubs really afford to risk further alienating AA's when they already have the most homogenous inner city fan base in the country? Clearly, they're at great pains to put on television every AA person who shows up at Wrigley, in an effort to make the place seem more diversity-friendly than it is. I have to think they've already talked to him and asked him to tone it down, but I wonder ...
I could never understand why he's not kicked out of every game. He's annoying enough whenever he gets some tv time but to sit near him during the game almost makes assault justifiable. Any loudmouthed jerk should be kicked out.
