Of the many storylines  to Chicago's fairytale season, one stood out: the late-career  renaissance of David Ross, the 39-year-old catcher who had played  back-up for 13 of his 15 pro seasons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Beyond Ross's remarkably  strong play, he became the ultimate positive force in the Cubs locker  room, mentoring and motivating his fellow players, some of them nearly  twenty years his junior. Thanks to Cubs Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo,  \"Grandpa Rossy\" became a social media sensation. No one, however, could  have predicted that Ross's home run in his final career at bat would  help seal the Cubs championship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Now, in \u003ci\u003eTeammate\u003c\/i\u003e, Ross shares the inspiring story of his life in baseball, framed by the events of that unforgettable November night.","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49349479727408,"sku":"40c7y5","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349479694640,"sku":"BDc7y5","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/c7y5-cover.jpg?v=1762366717","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-c7y5","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
