Cerbaho-WG Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Page 2 article THis is absolutely amazing, definitely have to hand it to this guy for doing what he's doing. I sincerely hopes he gets to Wrigley on time and raises the 250k, enjoying everything when he's finally done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Good luck to him. If he doesn't hit 250K, maybe the Cubs can donate to make him hit 250K and then some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 That's incredible. Best of luck to him, I hope he makes it. It's a worthy cause. Kinda restores your faith in people a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxy Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I also hope that he gets a new pair of knees out of this. It sounds like his are pretty bad, and walking across the country can't be helping them at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Unemployed, divorced He's fought sunburn. Windburn. Jock itch. He's slept in more than 100 different beds, in everything from an RV park in Roosevelt, Ariz., Later, he discusses the fine roads in Texas, using nostalgic descriptors like "precious" and "beautiful" to describe what others might think of as a lonely stretch of pavement. Squeezed inside are four "This Old Cub" T-shirts, four pairs of underwear, two sweatshirts, two pairs of socks, sweatpants, shorts and a "This Old Cub" windbreaker. Along with all the miniature hotel shampoo bottles he can stuff in along the way. He had an umbrella, long johns and a pair of gloves, but he's ditched those. He does laundry once a week. On the other end is Ron Santo. The Cubs have just lost to the White Sox, 5-1. Holden says Santo sounds depressed. But what happens on July 2 is anyone's guess. Holden's alma matter, Southern Illinois, has donated a flight home, but he's not sure where he wants home to be. Arizona? Missouri? Illinois? One of the tiny Texas towns that so delicately touched his heart? "How about Wrigley Field?" Holden says. "Just take two weeks, drink a couple Old Styles and watch the Cubs every day. Now that would be the life." Unemployed, likes to drink, wandering, yep a Cubs fan! Damn, I've got to make a donation and make certain they know it's from a Sox fan.
