At this time last year, David Ross was riding around the Sloan Park grounds in Mesa on a motorized scooter and being helped around the clubhouse with a cane.
But on Monday night, Ross donned only a knee brace (and a bedazzled Cubs jersey) as he quick-stepped around the dance floor on the Season 24 premiere of Dancing With The Stars.
Ross’ official title with the Cubs now is “Special Assistant to the Front Office,” but he was more ambassador on Monday night as he and partner Lindsay Arnold performed to “Go Cubs Go,” with a gigantic Cubs logo displayed on screen in the ballroom.
