ST. LOUIS -- Cubs players will wear celebratory gold versions of their jerseys and caps, the championship banners will be raised, and David Ross will return to throw out a first pitch during the first two games of the team's initial homestand of 2017.
When they host the Dodgers on Monday, the Cubs will play their first game at Wrigley Field since winning the World Series championship. Singer Julianna Zobrist, wife of infielder Ben Zobrist, will sing "God Bless America," and Wayne Messmer will sing the national anthem prior to the game, the Ricketts family will throw out ceremonial first pitches, and the championship banners will be raised.
