Ron Santo Quotes

I'm a big baseball fan, and I feel proprietary about the Dodgers. I'm not the owner. I'm not the manager. But I feel passionate about the decisions that they make, and I take it personally when they make decisions I don't like.

I live and die with the Chicago Cubs.

Go to a Cubs game and see how many people are in the stands, because when you can't win, nobody cares anymore.

When you've done it long enough - I've done something like 21 World Series - just about every fan base has turned off the TV when their team lost and I was screaming and yelling for the other side.

Living in Dallas, I root for the Mavericks and the Stars and the Cowboys, but I've always pulled for the Chicago Cubs. I enjoy watching them play.

My interest is in the Wests Tigers. Nobody can support a team that is all the time on the bottom; that's a waste of time.

I've been a Brewers fan since birth.

Baseball fans! Good lord! I feel like sports fans get mad at you easier than country music fans. It scares me. I'm glad that country fans don't get mad every time I mess up.

People tend to like an athlete's performance, but if you don't get a feeling for the individual, you're not very emotive about them.

I rooted for the Milwaukee Brewers and its stars, Robin Yount and Paul Molitor. I went to a lot of games, including the World Series in 1982. The Brewers may have been a bad team for most of my life, but to have your team at its peak when you are thirteen years old is an experience I wish for every fan.

If you had to point to one thing that made it less likely that the Red Sox would win the World Series, I would say it was those people that go to Fenway Park to watch the games. And then the media around it.

They read their sports pages, know their statistics and either root like hell or boo our butts off. I love it. Give me vocal fans, pro or con, over the tourist types who show up in Houston or Montreal and just sit there.

Chicago fans cheer and boo who they want. They're great fans whether they like me or not. They show you how they feel. I don't like crowds that sit on their hands.

You look around baseball and when things go south, that type of fan apathy happens.

Once a Cubs fan, always a Cubs fan.

I bleed Dodger blue!

I grew up in Kentucky, so we do not have a pro team. My family was split between the Cubs and the Reds. I would say I go Cubs usually. That's sort of where I grew up. My older brother was a huge Reds fan.

As a fan, I don't want to have my team out of it by Day 1.

It's a character-builder to be a fan of the Chicago Cubs.

Everybody wants to say that Kentucky fans are vicious or obnoxious. They're not. They're crazy in that they watch the tape of our games more than I do. But they're passionate and smart.

Look, it's all about wins and losses to the fans. They want to believe in their team.

If you have people invested emotionally in the success of their team, that usually translates to strong attendance.

Growing up I was a Cleveland Browns fan and my mood would change based on how they were playing. If they were losing I wasn't as happy, I wasn't as excited, I was a little sad.

I'm a Cubs season ticket holder.
