The Cubs And Ronnie Woo Woo Apparently Are In A Huge Fight
(Source) On April 19th, during the seventh inning, Wickers suffered the indignity of being ousted from the Wrigley Field bleachers because he couldn’t produce an e-ticket.
A spokesman for the Cubs said Wickers had tried to get into the ballpark earlier without a ticket and that is why security staff approached him in the first place.
“Our guest services staff knows who Ronnie is. They know what he does and that he is here to enjoy the games and to somewhat entertain the fans,” said Julian Green, Cubs vice president of communications and community affairs.
“But he has to have a ticket like everyone else,” Green said.
Wickers, 75, denies he tried to sneak into the ballpark without a ticket, and apparently there is no written report of that incident.
“They just lied about everything. I’m going to fight this with my last breath. I would like to sit down with Mr. Tom Ricketts for 10 minutes and let him roll back the videotape,” Wickers said.
First of all the fact that this is the real cover for the Chicago Sun Times is simply absurd. This is what we’re reporting on? A grown man who dresses in a Cubs uniform 24/7/365 and walks around Wrigleyville making noises complaining about tickets? We’re getting to the important stuff on this one.
Second, I’m pretty sure the issue is that Ronnie Woo got kicked out of a single game because he couldn’t produce a ticket. The Cubs don’t let people in without a ticket? Is that it?
Because without knowing any of the other details that doesn’t seem like a ridiculous ask by the Cubs. If you want to go to a game you have to have a ticket, pretty innovative stuff right there. So Ronnie, I love your enthusiasm man, I’m actually not one of the people that hates you and realize you’re ultimately harmless fun, but if you don’t have a ticket, demanding meetings with Ricketts and saying you’re going to fight until your dying breath over a single game you were kicked out of in April is pretty damn ridiculous. Then again that’s not really saying much when we’re talking about Ronnie Woo Woo.

Credit to Ronnie for being a news breaker though, never forget.
