Former Chicago Cubs stars David Ross and Anthony Rizzo are launching a new podcast with The Volume Sports to celebrate the upcoming 10th anniversary of the team's 2016 World Series title, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.
The podcast will feature the two franchise icons interviewing the most integral people involved in the historic championship run that ended a 108-year drought. Ross and Rizzo were central figures in the 2016 squad; Ross famously hit a home run in his final career game during Game 7, while Rizzo caught the final out to secure the title.
Per Passan, the show will delve into the behind-the-scenes stories of the championship season, bringing together the players and staff who defined that era of Cubs baseball. The partnership with The Volume Sports, a digital media network founded by Colin Cowherd, represents a major expansion into baseball storytelling for the platform.
The 2016 World Series remains one of the most culturally significant events in MLB history, and this podcast aims to provide a definitive oral history from the perspective of the men on the field. Details regarding the show's title and premiere date are expected to be announced in the near future.
