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

Am I the only one who laughed when reading this?

 

Am I the only one who doesn't understand what the point of including this note was?

 

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.

 

Any excuse to relate a Bill Murray deadpan, I'd imagine.

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.

 

That's kind of creepy. Did she know him at all because if not this move was not a good one in any way.

[Jehrico]

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.

 

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

You weren't the one that ran him over with the car a couple of years ago, were you? :lol:

[Jehrico]

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.

He had five months to get there...

 

I guess he probably hitchhikes. Or who knows...maybe he's one of those weird types...lives like a vagabond while he's really got millions in the bank. There are a few of those out there...

I'm assuming someone tossed him some cash. I believe a Chicago Area dentist fixed his teath for free a few years back.

Yeah, that probably is more likely...

You gotta tip your hat to the guy...I don't know of any other "professional Cubs fans" who have a dental plan...

Gary Hughes has had the sign before, this is from last year:

I guess its just something else Paul Sullivan failed to scoop.

Mancow Muller paid to have his teeth fixed cause Ronnie couldn't afford it I guess.

 

I see Ronnie out all over the place. He's always wearing his Woo Woo jersey, even when baseball isn't even in season. We go up to Milwaukee every year for a few games, and I've run into Ronnie up there at least twice. If you think he annoys Cubs fans, you should've seen the look on some of the Brewers fans faces.

And now Mancow is off the air here.

 

The two aren't related, but I just wanted to point out how awesome it is that Mancow isn't on Chicago radio anymore.

Why all the hate on RWW. He goes all over the country on someone elses dime to watch the Cubs. People buy him beer. The Woo's are annoying if you are sitting beside him but he walks around the whole bleacher area. Even if he plants himself next to you he's not there long.

Yes, but even 3-5 minutes of that can get annoying.

Truly one of the worst ideas ever. I know who RWW is and I wouldn't let him anywhere near my house. Joke or not.

Actually, it was Jonathan Brandmeier back in the early to mid 90s who found a dentist to donate his services for RWW.

Fair enough.

 

Mancow is still a monster.

I've never experienced a Woo-Woo moment, as I've been to very few Cubs games in my lifetime.

 

Is the guy mentally challenged? Is he just insane? Or is he just really devoted?

 

Like when you see him outside Wrigley, can you have a regular conversation with him or is he impossible to talk to?

I've heard it last half an hour. Long enough that you begin to wonder how his voice doesn't give out.

You can have a regular conversation with him. A lot of people (especially the younger crowd) want him to do the woo-woo act though.

 

He has a Bears helmet sometimes during FB season, which is funny.

 

I'd think you'd have to have a couple screws loose to do what he does, but he's not insane or mentally challenged.

[tkenm356]

Okay, cause I saw the website for the documentary and all that stuff a couple years ago and thought ot myself "A grown mentally challeneged Cubs fan got a documentary about him? Impressive"

[Soul]

He's got a website:

 

http://www.ronniewoowoo.com

 

Some of his quotes are pretty funny.

from my experienced with schizophrenia, and judging from what others have told me, i'd say he's probably a schizophrenic with one hell of a case worker.
