Take that asterisk and shove it — Cubs skipper David Ross wants a trophy and a parade

David Ross is ready to kick some asterisks.

Think a 60-game regular season is illegitimate? Think baseball in 2020 is so up for grabs on the field — and off it — that whichever team rises to the top simply won’t hold up in comparison to the more tried-and-true champions of, well, pretty much every other year in league history?

The Cubs’ rookie manager isn’t buying it.

“If they’re passing out a trophy, I want it,” Ross said Monday in his first meeting with the media, via Zoom, since spring training was halted in March due to the coronavirus outbreak.
