David Ross was introduced as the 55th (really, 61st) manager of the Chicago Cubs Monday morning to assembled media at the Cubs’ office building adjacent to Wrigley Field.
This wasn’t like Joe Maddon’s news conference five years ago. That day, we were introduced to a man we didn’t really know well. He’d never been associated with the Cubs, and his Rays teams had played a total of three games at Wrigley Field. So that was a learning experience — as were the entire five years that Joe managed the Cubs.
