Chicago Cubs: Top five David Ross moments as a Cub

#3: Ross is Babe Ruth

Here is another moment that comes against the Phillies. On July 26, 2015, the Chicago Cubs trailed 11-4 in the ninth inning. Instead of wasting another reliever in a blowout game, Maddon called on David Ross to pitch. While it is not unheard of to pull a position player into pitch, not many have the success David Ross experienced.

Ross came in and threw 8 pitches, all around 70 miles per hour. Yet, the Phillies went down in order after a fly ball to left and two grounders to Addison Russell at short. But that was not all. Ross came to the plate in the bottom of the ninth and lifted a 2-2 pitch into the left field bleachers.
