Ross danced the Viennese waltz to the same song he used as his walkup anthem his last season: “Forever Young.”
He was hoping his baseball fandom would translate to a W in the dance world. But the spin around the dance floor was scheduled in the middle of the Cubs’ home opener. He reminded his fans that he needed their votes and asked the Cubs to help him out.
