An Edison Park deli has received an outpouring of support from the community, including from Cubs icon Anthony Rizzo, after an armed robbery in November.
Rizzo, a former first baseman who retired from baseball this year and rejoined the Cubs as an ambassador, paid Tony’s Italian Deli & Subs a surprise visit Nov. 23.
Photos on social media show Rizzo posing with the deli’s staff and signing autographs. A video also shows him making a sandwich.
“We were absolutely thrilled and completely surprised by a visit from [Rizzo],” the store said on social media.
