I’m fired up that David Ross and his charges are talking about the World Series this year. The rookie manager sounds 100% believable, though it’s possible he just hasn’t realized the magnitude of the job in front of him. The attitude and outlook is refreshing to see and hear.
As far as Ross is concerned, how can he not be fired up? In his last official game wearing a Cubs uniform, he homered — in his final career at-bat — in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.
The only way he could possibly top that is to lead his team to its second championship in five years, only this time as manager.
