Kyle Hendricks gets a bit of sentimentality on Sunday. The former Chicago Cubs starting pitcher is on the opposite side, taking the ball for the Angels against the Cubbies. And before the start, USA Today's Bob Nightengale foreshadowed what it could really mean: "It also may be be the last time. Hendricks, 35, could retire after the season."

The Cubs honored Hendricks with a pyramid of baseballs — one for every out of his last start for them — and remarks from outfielder Ian Happ, who became the longest-tenured player on the team after Hendricks’ departure. Happ’s comments made sure everyone on the team knew just how much Hendricks had given to the organization.

Kyle Hendricks, who started Game 7 when the Chicago Cubs ended their World Series title drought in 2016, says the passionate fan base made his time there unforgettable.
