A journeyman backup catcher rarely sees fame after his playing career draws to a close. Yet, that’s exactly what 41-year-old David Ross experiences on a daily basis. After helping the Chicago Cubs win their first title in 108 years, he’s danced with the stars, become a fixture on ESPN MLB broadcasts and doing everything he can to leave his mark in the world.
Most recently, Ross paired up with soccer star Landon Donovan and Modelo for the World Cup. You might find this strange given Team USA failed to qualify. But, in reality, it makes a lot of sense.
