Jody Davis, the former Chicago Cubs catcher, and manager of the 2008 Florida State League champion Daytona Beach Cubs, was a participant in the Chicago Cubs home opener on
April 13th at Wrigley Field in Chicago, where he spent his major league career. He caught the ceremonial first pitch prior to the start of the game from ex-Cubs pitcher and Davis’ former batterymate, Rick Sutcliffe. Both Davis and Sutcliffe are still very popular with Cubs fans. Davis is still employed by the Cubs, as a roving catching instructor for the entire Chicago Cubs organization, and will be visiting Jackie Robinson Ballpark in Daytona Beach to work with th D-Cubs catchers.
