Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo received a heartwarming standing ovation at Wrigley Field on Monday night following an emotional tribute video that was played in his honor. The video highlighted Rizzo’s contributions to the Cubs organization over the past decade, including his role in helping the team win the 2016 World Series.

Rizzo, who was traded to the New York Yankees earlier this season, was visibly moved by the tribute video and the outpouring of support from the fans in attendance. The 32-year-old slugger spent nine seasons with the Cubs, becoming a fan favorite for his leadership both on and off the field.

During his time with the Cubs, Rizzo was a three-time All-Star and won four Gold Glove awards. He also established himself as a clutch hitter, delivering several memorable moments in key playoff games, including a game-winning home run in Game 3 of the 2016 World Series.

The emotional tribute video served as a reminder of Rizzo’s impact on the Cubs organization and the city of Chicago as a whole. Fans cheered and applauded as Rizzo took the field for his first at-bat as a visiting player, showing their appreciation for all that he had done for the team during his tenure.

Rizzo’s departure from the Cubs was bittersweet for many fans, but the standing ovation and tribute video provided closure and a chance to celebrate his accomplishments. As Rizzo continues his career with the Yankees, he will always be remembered fondly by Cubs fans for his contributions to the team’s success and his dedication to the community.
