Hendry tells Ronnie Woo Woo to shut up, gives him a ball

[Jehrico]

Noise-inducing Cubs fan Ronnie Wickers, a.k.a. Ronnie Woo-Woo, was performing his ear-splitting schtick at a Fitch Park workout until Hendry decided it was time for a break.

 

"Hey Ronnie, how about knocking off for a half-hour and I'll give you a ball?" Hendry said.

 

Wickers didn't reply, but Hendry picked up a ball and handed it to him, forcing him to stay mute for the rest of the workout.

Am I the only one who laughed when reading this?

It's like how you'd talk to a child. Awesome. :lol:

Guilty.

That's really funny! Ronnie Woo Woo is annoying!

[A New Era]

I mean Ronny Woowoowooie is ok during games when it's getting heated. But freakin wooing at a DAMN spring training workout!!?!?

 

Woo, cubs, workout, woo, worl series woo, jumping jacks, woo, derre lee woo, 10 meter sprint woo, worl serie, woo.

Ronnie Woo Woo is never okay. Hopefully next time one of the pitchers will be responsible for "tossing" him a ball.

Amen, lets hope he stays in Arizona.

Over Winter Break I blacked out at Goose Island Brewery in Wrigleyville and apparently was insulting woo-woo. I vaguely remember meeting the guy, but whatever. Hopefully it's true.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That's great! Jim should have asked him to knock it off for a season.

[Mark Priors Calves]

i was watching sportnite on comcast a few days ago and they show highlights of cliff floyd hitting some batting practice. in between the broadcaster talking, i thought i heard some "woos", i just shook my head.

[Backtobanks]

Remind me to bring a ball to the next game if it will shut Ronnie up.

I've done something similar to that before as well.

[Sammy Sofa]

It doesn't specify that if one gives Ronnie a ball that it doesn't have to be moving.

 

At high speeds.

 

Just sayin'.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Dusty, woo, don't woo, go. woo woo.

 

:roll:

[Soul]

Can't they just get security to throw the guy out?

 

I mean come on. Fitch Park is like 4 little-league style fields arranged back-to-back. Think of Woo Woo showing up at your kids' little league practice and doing his act for an hour. The psychological damage to your kids alone should be enough to kick him out.

Cart blanche

 

Special assistant to the general manager Gary Hughes spent much of the last couple of weeks driving around from field to field on a golf cart with instructions printed on the front: "Do Not Steal, Maim or Mutilate Gary or the golf cart."

 

Hughes related a story of a recent conversation with Bill Murray, the No. 1 celebrity Cubs fan, who invited him to play golf.

 

"There's something on my golf cart I want you to see," the Wilmette native told Hughes. "I think you'll really like it."

 

"What's that?" Hughes asked.

 

"Cupholders," Murray replied.

Has he ever done anything to get thrown out? Sure, he is annoying as hell, but his "woo's" are simply cheering, just as other fans do throughout the game.

 

That said, I would gladly pitch in the get him an apartment in AZ for the whole summer.

I didn't get it either. I mean, at least give an explaination of why there's a sign telling people to leave the cart alone. Have the players picked on him before, etc.

 

It was like half a blurb that wouldn't have been interesting even with the other half.

It's beyond all reason, though. Nothing like what other fans do when they cheer.

[TruffleShuffle]

unfortunately, jim hendry has done more damage to the cubs than woo-woo could ever do

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Jim Hendry hasn't ever damaged my ear drums quite like Woo, though.

Best Ronnie Woo Woo story ever:

 

A girl I work with used to live right across from Wrigley. One morning she goes out for a run and on her way back home, she runs into Ronnie. She thinks it would be a great idea to take Ronnie back to her place so he can wake up her roommate with his annoying voice.

 

A great idea turned into possible police action because this roommate not only had no idea who Ronnie was, but thought she was about to be raped because of some strange man in her bedroom.

 

Lesson learned: Ronnie Woo Woo is a menace to us all.

How does he have the cash to get there?

[CubinNY]

How does he have the cash to get there?

 

Two years ago when the Cubs were in NY to play the Yankees, who is walking around Yankee stadium yelling CUBS WOO!, none other than Ronnie.

 

How does he make it anywhere?

 

The guy has some sort of super power.
