Rizzo Touches Home… Literally

The Heart of the Happiest Place on Earth

The Cubs are back and so is Anthony Rizzo! The first baseman returned to Wrigley Field on Monday for the first time since signing with the Yankees in the off-season. Rizzo was given a standing ovation that lasted for several minutes and was noticeably emotional as he tipped his cap to the crowd.

In a press conference after the game, Rizzo said that it was "an incredible feeling" to be back at Wrigley Field. "This place means so much to me," Rizzo said. "I'll never forget the memories I made here and the fans have always been so great to me."

Rizzo's return was a reminder of the special bond that he has with the Cubs and their fans. Rizzo was a key member of the Cubs' 2016 World Series championship team and has always been a fan favorite.

The Future of Rizzo and the Cubs

Will the heart ever learn?

It's unclear what the future holds for Rizzo and the Cubs. Rizzo is under contract with the Yankees for the next two seasons, but he has said that he would like to return to Chicago someday. The Cubs have a lot of young talent on their roster, but they could certainly use a veteran leader like Rizzo.

For now, Rizzo is focused on helping the Yankees win a World Series. But it's clear that he still has a lot of love for the Cubs and their fans.
