MESA, Ariz. — Cubs manager David Ross noticed the difference when he started going on drives with daughter Landri, who turned 16 in February. One of their first times out, she hit a curb and sliced a tire.
‘‘Probably the old me would have been a little bit upset,’’ Ross said.
The old him hadn’t managed a baseball team before.
Some of the Cubs’ former managers were famous for their outbursts. Think Lou Piniella kicking his hat or Lee Elia going on his infamous profanity-laced tirade.
