ST. LOUIS — First things first, Cubs manager David Ross wanted to communicate his best wishes to White Sox manager Tony La Russa, who is away from his team indefinitely while under the care of doctors, reportedly for an unspecified heart ailment.
“Any time you see that, a Hall of Famer, been great for a really long time, you send your love and prayers and hope he’s going to be all right,” Ross said before the opener of a weekend series against the division-leading Cardinals.
