Think Grandpa Rossy misses playing for the Chicago Cubs?

David Ross, the now-retired catcher and onetime "Dancing With The Stars" runner-up, returned to Wrigley Field on Sunday night as a member of ESPN's play-by-play crew to call the Cubs-Cardinals game from the venerable stadium's right-field bleachers.

Calling the game from the stands gave the 40-year-old a unique vantage point, but it also afforded him yet another chance to grow his legend on the Chicago sports scene. Between innings early in the game, Ross pulled out a glove from beneath his seat and warmed up his ex-teammate, right fielder Jason Heyward, to the delight of the Wrigley faithful.
