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:
“The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
