David Ross' final Game at Wrigley Field came with a serenade from Eddie Vedder on Sunday night, and as he marches toward retirement there's one thing for sure about the Chicago Cubs' 39-year-old catcher.

He's easily among the toughest autographs on the team when it comes to certified cardboard.

That's something worth noting as his career comes to an end -- and potentially in the biggest way possible with a World Series win for the historically downtrodden team.

"I've had a storybook year, honestly. There are so many things I can talk about that have happened to me over this year," Ross told The Associated Press. "Everybody was looking at me like, dude, Eddie Vedder just dedicated the whole seventh-inning stretch to you and I'm like, my mind's blown. I'm thinking about being out of the game and he's a quality individual. He's just a good person, rock star, everybody knows who Eddie Vedder is. He says my name -- it's a huge compliment."
