Great Piece about Cubs on espn.com

by bergs55 on Sep 11, 2008 12:04 PM CDT

Outside the lines is doing a piece on the loyalty of Cubs fans...

The have a generational history of every decade of Cub fans starting in 1908 and it's kinda cool. Check it out...it talks about how no matter what happens, the love for our team is forever. The feature (WooWoo) but I don't know why they didn't feature Al. Let's hope after this year, we won't have to deal with this losers label anymore!

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of SB Nation or Al Yellon, managing editor (unless it's a FanPost posted by Al). FanPost opinions are valued expressions of opinion by passionate and knowledgeable baseball fans.

I was just...

coming to mention the same thing. Woo Woo is just a fact of life at this point though it is interesting that the article mentioned his polarizing nature. I did like how they got people from each generation but I would’ve also like to have seen a player in there. Someone like DeRosa who seems to really get it and know what being on that team that does win it will mean to the city and to those particular players.

The problem with that particular individual is...

… he’s not really a Cubs fan, he’s a self promoter who makes it all about him. His little hook (that goofy loud yell) is interesting to the national media, which is why they glom on to him. Never mind that he spends half his time groping college-age women, and the rest annoying people — if you ask him politely to move on from where you are, he acts like it’s YOUR problem.

I wish he’d just vanish.

amen

on a lighter note. I’m glad they grabbed a blogger for one of the profiles. I read GROTA almost as much as BCB and I really like what they do over there.

Groping college age women??

Where do I get my woo-woo uniform?

And

the college age women COME UP TO HIM and ask him to grope them. Who’s the idiot now?

Not surprised

I wonder how many Girls Gone Wild videos there are…. from watching late night TV all these years, I think they may be up to 20.

You may want him to vanish

And there are certainly plenty who agree with you. But there are also plenty of people who actually enjoy what Ronny adds to the atmosphere?

Incidentally, how did you become the authority on who is and who is not a Cubs fan?

by Leon Durham on Sep 11, 2008 1:25 PM CDT up reply actions

Honestly...

That group is generally limited to those who visit Wrigley infrequently. I’ve never met anyone coming to the park regularly who has enjoyed his schitck. It gets old — quickly.

by Damen Jackson on Sep 11, 2008 1:30 PM CDT up reply actions

I go to 30 games a year

and he doesn’t bother me a bit. Granted, I avoid the bleachers – I prefer to a seat with a back and that isn’t 400 feet away from home plate – so I don’t get to hear him as often as those who sit out there.

Besides, being tired of his noise is one thing – judging his commitment to the team is quite another.

by Leon Durham on Sep 11, 2008 1:34 PM CDT up reply actions

I've seen his act enough to know that...

… it’s about HIM, not about the team. He’s a shameless self-promoter who’s rude and annoying.

His act is the same during Spring Training also.

I only put up with him for a week, but it got REALLY old then also. Yet people fell over themselves to meet him.

by storkysm on Sep 11, 2008 1:38 PM CDT up reply actions

I don't go to that many games a year

But I just recently started to get annoyed.

by daeviant on Sep 11, 2008 1:44 PM CDT up reply actions

I suspect that you...

are in the minority.

And to be fair, when you come to as many games as he does, and generally don’t watch them, I think it’s fair to have people question your motivations; especially given his self-promotion outside of Wrigley.

by Damen Jackson on Sep 11, 2008 1:38 PM CDT up reply actions

Well

I am a pretty flawed individual, who probably gets annoyed far too easily. But when Al, who I believe is very patient and long-suffering, pipes up on that guy being an annoying self-promoter, I know my judgement is not off base.

Me, I think I may have seen him one time .. not impressed and not bothered.
