My Tweeted photo of a Cubs fan wearing an eccentric hat (or maybe it's more than one hat, hard to tell!) made the Sun-Times website on Wednesday. It just goes to show you how Andy Warhol's predicted "15 Minutes of Fame" happens. You wear a nutty hat to the Cubs Convention. Then, some jerk like me snaps your photo while @CrawlysCubs videos your rambling "question"/complaint to Theo Epstein, and the next thing you know, you are front page on my Google News feed.
Well, allow me to dip into #CrazyHatLady's 16th minute of fame and write and sing a "She's a Lady" song parody before this story is as dead as Cap Anson.
There are many ways to be known as #CrazyHatLady. This is one of them.

#CrazyHatLady
Well, she always wears three hats
And a couple fanny packs, she’s feelin' bitter
Cause What’s-His-Names been replaced
Hey Theo! Stop the Trades! Bring back Schlitter!!
#CrazyHatLady
Oh, whoa, whoa, #CrazyHatLady
Talkin' about #CrazyHatLady
In the microphone line...
You never know what she’ll say
But it’s gonna take all day to hear her question.
She’s rootin' for Chicago
Stuffed animal sombrero, and pin collection
#CrazyHatLady
Oh, whoa, whoa, #CrazyHatLady
Talkin' about #CrazyHatLady
In the microphone line…
Well, someday she’ll fall deep in love
When Ronnie Woo woo’s her
Cubbie fans legally wed
Dreamin' of the future
Ronnie’s such a lucky guy
I hear she’s quite the cougar
But she’s always shoutin’
Cause she doesn’t like the trades, hey hey hey
No, she doesn’t have a doubt
Theo’s gonna ship 'em out after the Series
But she knows what he should do
Keep the core like '62 and other theories
#CrazyHatLady

Crazy Hat Lady Transcription

"I have an unusual question and probably you are all too young to remember these players: Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, Ron Santo, and the bleacher bums. I was one of the bleacher bums, you weren't even born yet. And we used to have the cards out there in the bleachers and they used to sign them, but one of the things that they did, they kept good core players. By the time I turn around they're gone
(getting louder and more upset)
Theo, you trade them, you just seem to get rid of all the good players we have .You have the pitcher you sent to the South Side, that was very good, I forgot his name even now, aaaaaannnd, I mean, (inaudible) more than one player. Is that true you practice with, course we want the World Series, so if we get one World Series and we win, are you going to trade them the next year? The next, can I care about them? I want a Mr. Cub again, I don't know if you heard that name? And also ( inaudible)"
Len Kasper: "Ma'am, do you have a question?"
CHL: We had the number 14 on the, by the home plate in memory of Ernie last year, and I think it should be long term.
