Pay no attention to David Ross trying to sneakily kick a ball back into fair territory

At age 39, it's safe to say that David Ross isn't quite the athlete he used to be -- he got to move around Spring Training in a motorized cart, after all. But what Grandpa Rossy might lack in explosiveness, he more than makes up for with the sort of veteran guile only 15 years in the big leagues can produce.
Case in point: Tuesday's Padres-Cubs game, when Wil Myers nubbed a ball up the first-base line ... that needed a little help staying fair. Luckily, Ross had an idea:
Smooth, Ross. Very smooth. You might as well have just been taking a light stroll. You would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for that pesky umpire hanging over your shoulder. Who does he think he is, anyway?
