Ronnie sighting and other sightings from the rooftops

I was not sure if I would get on the rooftop today. I had texted the rooftop owner yesterday asking if I could go but received no response. As Nicole wrote in her article the other day, the process to get on the rooftop for us can be difficult. However, last year, I learned who was “on the ground” that I needed to talk to. I saw him fairly quickly which allowed me to skip rooftop access steps 2-9.

After the start of the game I saw Ronnie Woo-Woo walking down Addison St. I thought to myself, “Why isn’t Ronnie in the game?” I remember a security guard telling me (this was over 10 years ago) that Ronnie was the only fan allowed to enter Wrigley without a ticket. Next thing I knew Ronnie was standing behind me on the rooftop. What the hell! How did Ronnie get on the rooftop? Did he have to go through the 10 step process to get up here?

Derrek Lee hit his 7th Home Run of the season as the Cubs beat the Pirates convincingly 13-1. The most entertaining part of the last few innings were the fans in Wrigley Field that were displaying their body parts (equal opportunity here boys and girls) to the fans sitting on the rooftop.
