Grandpa Rossy's still got it: Turns an impressive diving catch into an incredible double play
Don't write David Ross off, yet.
The 38-year-old backstop is at Spring Training with the Cubs preparing for his 15th and final MLB season, while also finding the time to frolic on his Rascal and practice walking with a cane:
Ross is the subject of a new Instagram feed managed by fellow Cubs Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo devoted entirely to the myth that Ross is a grandfather. While his teammates are joking that he's an old man gearing up for one last rodeo, Ross is busy demonstrating that he's till got his A-game, like when he turned a spectacular double play in Cactus League play on Friday.
The Cubs were playing the Angels at Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz., when Ross made that incredible diving catch to snag a Cliff Pennington foul ball, then fired a throw to second base to nab C.J. Cron thinking he could tag up on the play.
Yeah, we'd venture to say Grandpa Rossy's got at least one more season left in the ol' tank.
