Woo-Woo gets the shoo-shoo at Santo for Hall

Woo-Woo gets the shoo-shoo

Published by Scott Lewis August 1st, 2005 in News.

In my last post I said that I would talk more about my time in Cooperstown with Ronnie Woo-Woo. I took a 4 day bus ride out there with Ronnie and was thoroughly annoyed by his antics and incessant "woo-ing."

So rather than going into great detail, I'll just go with a story on the Chicago Tribune. It's short, so I'll post the entire text.

It wouldn't be a Cubs-related function without Ronnie "Woo-Woo" Wickers, and sure enough, the unofficial, ubiquitous and wholly annoying team mascot was in Cooperstown for Ryne Sandberg's induction. For part of it, anyway. From a vantage point to the left of the stage, Wickers, in full Cubs regalia and with blue spikes draped over his shoulders, greeted the introduction of Fergie Jenkins, Billy Williams and a handful of other Hall of Famers with his characteristic howling. As Wade Boggs was wrapping up his speech, Wickers moved closer to the stage for Sandberg's. That's when he was intercepted by Hall security and led away, and the grounds of the Clark Sports Complex remained a woo-free zone for the rest of the day.

I took that trip with Ronnie…..the Tribune reported falsely…Ronnie never left the Clark Sports complex as he has a special pass to be there sitting next to Buck O’Neil. Ronnie remained for the entire ceremony because I was there with him..
Aren’t you supposed to cheer for the players ??? Ronnie remained fo rthe entire ceremony….I was his friend who traveled with him.
Too bad you have to make fun of the GREATEST CUBS FAN EVER>>>>
Ronnie is a legend as he has been in the bleachers for 40 years since the 1960’s…..
