The Cubs, baseball’s lovable losers for over a century until they finally won the World Series, are probably the perfect subject for an underdog sports movie.
In May 2017, the aforementioned David Ross will publish Teammate: My Journey in Baseball and a World Series for the Ages, a memoir chronicling his many years as a major league player, but especially focusing on his final year with the Cubs and his heroic feat in the World Series.
The Chicago Cubs’ run to the 2016 World Series was filled with amazing moments, and perhaps the most amazing, unlikely moment of all was provided by one of the team’s most improbable heroes, catcher David Ross.
And amiable, aging Ross is probably the perfect character to place at the center of such a movie.
