1The book "Teammate: My Journey in Baseball and a World Series for the Ages," is autographed by co-authors David Ross and Don Yaeger.
Don Yaeger is an American sports journalist, author and co-author of almost two dozen books, including some that have been on The New York Times Best Seller list.
David Ross played college baseball for Auburn and the University of Florida. Ross' 15-year MLB career included time with seven organizations and two World Series victories. The first came with the Boston Red Sox in 2013. In 2016, his second season with the Cubs, Ross helped the franchise to its first World Series victory in 108 years. Following his success in 2016, Ross retired from his MLB playing career. He then went on to compete on ABC's hit TV show - Dancing With The Stars. Ross now serves as an MLB Analyst for ESPN.
"Teammate: My Journey in Baseball and a World Series for the Ages," is an inspiring memoir from David Ross, the veteran catcher dubbed "Grandpa Rossy", who became the heart and soul of the Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series championship team.
In 2016 the Cubs snapped a 108-year curse, winning the World Series in a history-making, seven-game series against the Cleveland Indians. 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.
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 20 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.
Now, in "Teammate," Ross shares the inspiring story of his life in baseball, framed by the events of that unforgettable November night.
