In September, Chicago Cubs legend Anthony Rizzo announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after 14 seasons. Cubs fans flocked to Wrigley Field on Sept. 13 to celebrate their former captain, as Rizzo returned to his iconic first base for the first time since the 2021 trade deadline.
Rizzo spent 10 years on the North Side, winning four Gold Gloves and a Silver Slugger Award, including being named to the All-Star team three times for the National League. Rizzo played a pivotal role in the Cubs’ 2016 World Series championship, finishing fourth in MVP voting behind his teammate and eventual winner Kris Bryant.
