News flash: Cubs stay classy in ‘Anchorman’ road trip spoof

LOS ANGELES (AP) The Chicago Cubs kept it classy on their way to open a road trip at Dodger Stadium, with the World Series champions dressing as characters from the Will Ferrell comedy ”Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.”

Manager Joe Maddon colored his gray hair a dark brown and dressed in a suit and red tie in a nod to Burgundy, the San Diego TV news anchor played by Ferrell in the 2004 comedy. Burgundy’s nightly signoff was ”You stay classy, San Diego.”

”It was a Maaco job,” he said, referring to the auto painting business.
