BRIEF: Age catches up to David Ross, young Cubs joke

Feb. 02--David Ross got some playful ribbing from his younger Cubs teammates when he tweeted an anniversary message to his wife, Hyla.

"Happy anniversary to the love of my life! 11 years and she still loves me......#mustbethehair"

Anthony Rizzo seized on the opportunity to point out the age disparity between the 38-year-old Ross and many of his teammates. The average age of the Cubs' 40-man roster is about 27.

"I didn't even have my license when you two got married...and it was definitely not the hair bro. Congrats!" tweeted Rizzo.

Kris Bryant chimed in, "I was barely in middle school!"
