David Ross was a notable member of the Cubs' curse-breaking World Series squadron. In addition to being Jon Lester's personal catcher and putting up some solid numbers at the plate (109 OPS+ in 205 plate appearances), "Grandpa Rossy" was a beloved figure in the Cubs' clubhouse. No surprise, then, that Ross, even though his playing days are over, will remain a member of the organization.

The Cubs on Friday announced that Ross has been hired as a special assistant to baseball operations.
