2. The “Rudy” Moment
You couldn’t have scripted a better ending to Ross’ career. The life-long backup who was playing in his last game belted a home run in his last at-bat off the best reliever in the game which helped the Cubs break the longest drought in professional sports history.
It’s still surreal thinking about it.
As the celebration was preparing to move into the visiting team’s clubhouse, Anthony Rizzo and Jason Heyward crept up behind Ross while he was being interviewed and scooped him up on their shoulders.
Absolutely no better way to end a career then being carried off the field.
