Ron's Attitude
If someone just tuned in, they could sometimes tell how the game was being played from a Cubs fan's standpoint by the attitude of Ron Santo. He would often get upset about fans disrupting a broadcast or bad calls unless the Cubs had a very big lead. One example of a fan disruption came in July of the 2008 season. The Cubs were on the road playing the Houston Astros. In the 6th inning of the game, Ron was reading an e-mail to Pat. While he was reading the note, he heard an Astros fan screaming "Let's go 'Stros!". After hearing this Ron then reported,"...and there's somebody screaming down there. They ought to shoot him." Everyone in the booth bursted out laughing. Ron would also get very excited when the Cubs were doing well. He also would often contribute information that he learned as a player.

Famous quotes containing the word attitude:
“I read ... an article by a highly educated man wherein he told with what conscientious pains he had brought up all his children to be skeptical of everything, never to believe anything in life or religion or their own feelings without submitting it to many rational doubts, to have a persistent, thoroughly skeptical, doubting attitude toward everything.... I think he might as well have taken them out in the backyard and killed them with an ax.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
