Cubs manager David Ross got caught on TV giving a double-finger salute to pal Joc Pederson early in Thursday’s Cubs-Giants game,
At least not on camera.
“I should definitely know better,” Ross said, issuing the unsolicited apology. “It was kind of my hello to a friend of mine on the other side and just got caught on camera. “I don’t want any kids out there giving the birds to anybody,” he said. “It’s not the way I want to represent this organization or myself or my family. Poor taste. Sorry it got caught on TV.”“It definitely got the person’s attention,” Ross said, smiling.Pederson said.
Pederson spent just 3 1/2 months with the Cubs last season before being the first traded in the Cubs’ nine-man deadline selloff, but he made a lot of friends in the clubhouse in that short time and was one of Ross’ favorites. The feeling seems mutual, with Pederson praising Ross’ managing skills, including the fact he “communicates really good.”
