My Take
David Ross is the embodiment of baseball's underappreciated craft. A 190 cm catcher out of Bainbridge, Georgia, he lasted fifteen MLB seasons not as a slugger but as the cerebral handler pitchers trusted to steer a game. That he went on to manage the Chicago Cubs confirms what teammates clearly sensed: a leader who reads the room and steadies everyone around him. I've always valued the catcher's invisible influence over the box-score glory, and Ross, affectionately known as Grandpa Rossy, represents that selfless, game-shaping intelligence better than almost anyone of his era.
