Right-hander Kyle Hendricks is the last 2016 World Series champion remaining on the Cubs roster. File photo.Kyle Hendricks received a unique introduction and fitting ovation at the opening ceremony of the Cubs Convention.
“You need someone to start Game 7, to end a 108-year curse?” boomed Cole Wright, Marquee Sports Network host and emcee for the evening. “Who’s it going to be?”
It could only be Hendricks — not just because he started Game 7 of the 2016 World Series but also because he was the only player from that curse-breaking team still on the Cubs’ roster.
