OlderWhiskey 953 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Drove in the game-winner tonight for the Cubs with a sac fly in the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,550 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 He also threw out a runner on a steal attempt. That's not an easy thing to do with a pitcher that won't hold runners close to 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTiger 7,764 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 and well tonight. one of Rods great calls in (97?) Tallahassee.

Mikey 16,550 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 While Ross was doing a post-game interview, first his manager interrupted to give him a big hug, then his teammates came, lifted him up on their shoulders and ran around the infield with him, ending the interview. In addition to getting some clutch hits, Ross, at age 39, must have been a clubhouse and team leader. Sort of "the glue that holds them together" and a good role model for the younger guys. Even with his clutch hits, you don't often see a part-time player get the response that Ross got in the post-game. They all have a lot of respect for him.

During the game, they had him miked and Rizzo came up to him to talk about how nervous he was. I'm guessing the same as you, he was the team leader and the one who kept them steady during their run.

aufan57 922 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Quote Backup catcher emeritus David Ross of course retired from baseball following the 2016 season -- a season that saw him win the World Series as a member of the Cubs. The athlete, though, is very often a restive soul, and it didn’t take Ross long before he decided full retirement didn’t suit him. What does suit him, however, are the righteous threads of the Harlem Globetrotters ... View image on Twitter Follow David Ross ✔@D_Ross3 Coming out of retirement for the night! March 1 in Tallahassee. Come check out my new team @Globies 3:26 PM - 22 Feb 2017 250250 Retweets 1,6111,611 likes Yep, that’s David Ross, playground legend. As the man says, he’ll be suiting up with the Harlem Globetrotters in a matter of days. While we don’t normally think of catchers who are pushing age 40 as ballers and/or shot-callers, David “Streets of Fire” Ross is here to posterize your assumptions. Look at that J. As smooth as velvet melted in a fondue pot is what that is. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/david-ross-announces-hes-coming-out-of-retirement-with-the-harlem-globetrotters/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
