During Sunday night’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals, retired Chicago Cub David Ross played catch with his former teammate.
Ross, in the stands for a segment with Sunday Night Baseball, grabbed his glove and helped his former Atlanta Braves and Cubs teammate Jason Heyward warm up in the outfield.
Ross, who played with the Braves from 2009-2012, retired after the Cubs’ 2016 World Series win. Ross was an MLB catcher for 15 years.
