How Jason Heyward became Cubs' clubhouse leader By Jesse Rogers CHICAGO -- There might not be a bigger leadership moment than an inspiring speech delivered in the heat of a World Series Game 7, but Jason Heyward has followed his legendary words of the past postseason with an important task this season: filling the void left by the retirement of David Ross and the loss of Dexter Fowler to free agency. It is often asked who has been the team’s spokesman when things haven’t gone well for the champs. It’s Heyward. When the Chicago Cubs’ struggles hit a boiling point with six consecutive losses on the West Coast last week, Heyward was one of the players at the center of a team meeting about turning things around. “He’s always been consistent with that,” Cubs outfielder Jon Jay said over the weekend. “It’s a testament to when he came up with the Braves and Bobby Cox, as well as Chipper Jones. He learned how to be a stand-up guy. He’s accountable. He shows that every day.” Jay lockers next to Heyward at Wrigley Field after playing with him in St. Louis, and he remains in "awe" of Heyward’s steady attitude. Waves of reporters approach him before and after games, whether he’s struggling or playing well. He answers all of their questions. Then he’s there for his teammates. When the subject turns to Heyward, young Cubs can't wait to talk about one of their favorites. “He’s unbelievable,” Ian Happ said. “Really, really helpful with advice. Always willing to help the younger guys and be a positive influence. ... His attitude never varies. He’s always encouraging. I can’t say enough about him.” Happ especially has relied on Heyward in the outfield, where the rookie is learning to play center field in the major leagues. What Heyward has made look easy isn’t always so for Happ, but the three-time Gold Glove winner is doing everything he can to help a rookie adjust to a new spot. “He’s locked in at all times: batters, wind changes, everything,” Happ said. “He’s always talking to me out there. He’s got my back.” Heyward might not call people out or act as boisterous as Ross did, but he has an “aura” about him, as Happ put it. Players gravitate to him. Manager Joe Maddon spoke recently of guys having to “ascend” to leadership roles left open by the absences of Ross and Fowler. With several young players struggling, it has been on Heyward to carry the load. “He’s hitting better now,” Maddon said. “That probably gives him a little more inner confidence to go out there and say something or be that leader kind of a guy.” He might be a little more vocal now, but from the front office down to the players, they say Heyward was the same guy last season, when he struggled after signing the richest contract in franchise history. “He never changed,” Kyle Schwarber said. “He was hard on himself, but you could never tell.” If anyone learned how to conduct himself by watching Heyward, it’s Schwarber. After he was handed the leadoff job coming off a legendary World Series performance, scrutiny found Schwarber this season the same way it did Heyward during his first year in Chicago. Even though his leadoff role didn’t work out, Schwarber wasn’t going to lose his mind about the pressure -- not after watching what Heyward went through. “He is a leader,” Schwarber said. “I saw him last year even though I wasn’t playing. He was the same person.” That first year with the team, at least at the plate, could have broken Heyward. Then came the playoffs, in which he was benched at various times, before his World Series speech became part of Cubs’ lore. Jay was home watching it all unfold. “I was super happy,” he said. “That was the coolest moment for me. When I saw the reaction from Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo, that really hit me big. When they told that rain delay story, that’s bigger than any performance.” The Cubs think so as well. No matter his production at the plate this season, they had last year’s rain delay speech to thank him for. But after an offseason of work on his swing, he has become one of the Cubs’ most consistent and reliable hitters. His numbers in the batter’s box aren’t eye-popping, but his manager appreciates knowing what a Heyward at-bat will look like this year -- and it’s a lot better than last season. “I watch,” Maddon said. “Watch him on the field. All the little things he does. He’s always there to support everybody. Always. And he’s hitting. “We’re seeing the best of him right now.” -- ESPNChicago.com Long reliever Mike Montgomery presents Cubs with pitching options By Bradford Doolittle CHICAGO -- What the Cubs’ Mike Montgomery has done twice this season used to be so commonplace that its occurrence would have barely merited a mention in a game story. But by 2017 standards, Montgomery’s feat -- earning a 10-out save -- is kind of headline news. Montgomery piggy-backed Monday’s starter, Eddie Butler, coming on with two outs in the sixth to face the Miami Marlins' Christian Yelich. The Cubs led 3-1, but with Giancarlo Stanton standing on second base, Yelich represented the tying run.

  • Reign Men Taps Into a Compelling Oral History of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series
    Reign Men taps into a compelling oral history of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series. Talking Cubs heads all top CSN Chicago producers need in riveting ‘Reign Men’ By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, March 23, 2017 Some of the most riveting TV can be a bunch of talking heads. The best example is enjoying multiple airings on CSN Chicago, the first at 9:30 p.m. Monday, March 27. When a one-hour documentary combines Theo Epstein and his Merry Men of Wrigley Field, who can talk as good a game as they play, with the video skills of world-class producers Sarah Lauch and Ryan McGuffey, you have a must-watch production. We all know “what” happened in the Game 7 Cubs victory of the 2016 World Series that turned from potentially the most catastrophic loss in franchise history into its most memorable triumph in just a few minutes in Cleveland. Now, thanks to the sublime re- porting and editing skills of Lauch and McGuffey, we now have the “how” and “why” through the oral history contained in “Reign Men: The Story Behind Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.” Anyone with sense is tired of the endless shots of the 35-and-under bar crowd whooping it up for top sports events. The word here is gratuitous. “Reign Men” largely eschews those images and other “color” shots in favor of telling the story. And what a tale to tell. Lauch and McGuffey, who have a combined 20 sports Emmy Awards in hand for their labors, could have simply done a rehash of what many term the greatest Game 7 in World Series history.

  • A's News Clips, Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Coco Crisp Decides On
    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Coco Crisp decides on next team, but won't say Susan Slusser, Chronicle Staff Writer Departures are the norm for the A's this winter, with pitchers Trevor Cahill, Gio Gonzalez and Craig Breslow all traded and free-agent outfielders Josh Willingham and David DeJesus officially leaving. One of the A's free-agent outfielders, however, remains on the team's radar. Oakland wants to bring back Coco Crisp, according to A's sources. With so many young pitchers on the staff, Crisp's defensive ability is especially valuable. Crisp's agent, Steve Comte, confirmed that he has continued to talk to the A's, and he said Monday that Crisp has decided where he will play this season. "Covelli has made up his mind," said Comte, using Crisp's given name. "Basically, we just have to let that team know." The Cubs and Dodgers are other teams recently linked to the Crisp. The Orioles also are interested, according to cbssports.com. Comte estimated that he has spoken to 13-14 teams about Crisp this winter. Crisp has said that he wants to play for a contender, and though the A's are clearly in rebuilding mode, Comte said, "They're intriguing. It will be interesting how it plays out. They've moved a tremendous amount of personnel, but there is a plan there." The A's have spoken to many free-agent outfielders, including onetime Oakland prospect Ryan Ludwick, according to a major-league source. Other possibilities include ex-Giant Cody Ross and Conor Jackson, whom the A's traded to Boston in late August.

(Jan. 31, 2018) -- Jon Jay, MLB outfielder, former player on the St. Louis Cardinals World Series Championship team, Miami native and Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade alumnus, hosted the 7th Annual Jon Jay FMSbonds Celebrity Bowling Challenge that raised $75,000. More than 250 guests joined Jay at Splitsville Lanes in Miami on Jan. 27 for a fun-filled event that benefited Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s Project Learn After-School Program, serving Club members in grades K–8. The sold-out crowd included Major League Baseball stars and local celebrities including Gio Gonzalez (Washington Nationals), Jon Beason (retired NFL), Kevin Seigrist (St. Louis Cardinals), Tommy Pham (St. Louis Cardinals), Kolten Wong (St. Louis Cardinals) and Danny Valencia (MLB free agent). The surprise of the evening came when Gerard Loisel, past president of the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame, presented Jay with the official jacket and ring from UM Sports Hall of Fame. Jay was inducted last year but was not present to receive the iconic jacket and ring. “This year’s Jon Jay FMSbonds Celebrity Bowling Challenge proved to be even more exciting than previous years,’ said Jay. “Not only did we raise funds for Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade, but I was presented with the jacket and ring from my alma mater’s Hall of Fame in front of my family and friends.
