MILWAUKEE — David Ross’ parents called him around 9 p.m. Tuesday after his profane postgame rant went viral.
“‘Are you OK?’” he said his mom asked. “My dad was like, ‘Hey, buddy, everything all right?’”
It was a reasonable question, and the Chicago Cubs manager assured them he was OK, even if that wasn’t obvious to anyone watching the video of him going off on umpires after a 7-6, 11-inning win over the Milwaukee Brewers in which he was ejected.
