Back to the Los Angeles Dodgers Newsfeed

Welcome Back to Los Angeles, David Ross!

As we say goodbye (at least for the time being) to one veteran catcher, we can say congrats to another veteran catcher who is currently on a low-key farewell tour. David Ross, who was drafted by the Dodgers in 1998 and remained within the franchise for eight years (including 2+ seasons in Los Angeles), plays for the visiting Cubs and will be retiring after a fifteen year Major League career at the end of this season.

David is far from a superstar or household name, but he commands respect. Nicknamed "Rossy" but also called "Grandpa" by his Chicago Cubs teammates, David Ross has become the glue that keeps Chicago humming this season.
