Cubs Give 'Grandpa Rossy' Old-Man Wheels

(CBS) The young Cubs have gone on record stating they'll give veteran catcher David Ross a proper farewell tour this year as he's set to retire at season's end.

Early on, they've certainly followed their words with action. On Thursday, the Cubs lavished the 38-year-old Ross -- for whom they've started a "Grandpa Rossy" Instagram account -- with a representative gift: a motorized scooter and a cart for his gear too. Ross wasted no time navigating about spring training on it.

It even featured "GDPA" plates.
