SAN DIEGO -- The Summer of David Ross -- West Coast edition -- called an audible in Denver but got back on track in San Diego as the retiring catcher swam with Beluga whales and fed polar bears before the Chicago Cubs played the San Diego Padres on Tuesday.
“It was amazing,” Ross said of his trip to Sea World. “The Belugas were the nicest, most docile animals. Like having a big puppy. ... The Polar bear brought out its claws. They feed it with tongs. If they snagged a piece of your skin they would rip it off.
