It certainly was a year-long retirement party, and the youngsters of the Chicago Cubs did not let David Ross retire quietly. While they played several jokes on the 15-year veteran, few received more laughs than the motorized scooter.

During Spring Training, Rizzo and Bryant helped Ross get around with a cane during the first few days. Soon, the team gifted a motorized scooter with a customized license plate that said “GDPA” in the front and “CUBS” on the rear. It brought tons of laughs, but also a great memory for the team.
