Former Chicago Cubs catcher David Ross and his 23-year-old partner Lindsay Arnold competed in the finale of season 24 of Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday night. The dancing couple did a fusion dance of a foxtrot and salsa to the packed audience. The four celebrity judges gave them 36 out of possible 40 points as they finished runner-up in the dancing competition.

NFL player Rashad Jennings with Emma Slater finished in first place while Fifth Harmony's Normani Kordei and Val Chmerkovskiy finished in third place.

Judge Bruno Tonioli told Ross after his dance “You are already the people’s champion" while judge Julianne Hough said, "That was a proper fusion dance."
