As expe𓄧cted, the Chicago Cubs played a video tribute to Anthony Rizzo u🐓pon his return to Wrigley Field this afternoon, and, as expected, it was an emotional moment. This is a guy who meant so much to so many in Chicago, as a player and as a human. He deserves this moment, and we deserve to share it with him.

Marquee showed Anthony Rizzo as he watched his own tribute video🀅 from thꦰe top step of the Yankees dugout:

After the video, Rizzo was announced to the Wrigley crowd – as number 44, of course – and the love was felt so completely that he had to do a couple different walk outs to acknowledge the fans.
