Anthony Rizzo Honored by Cubs, Nearly Catches Home Run Ball at Wrigley Field

Anthony Rizzo, currently affiliated with the New York Yankees, was recently honored by the Chicago Cubs on September 13, 2025, just days after his retirement. During the event at Wrigley Field, Rizzo nearly made a memorable catch in the bleachers, attempting to haul in a home-run ball. This moment drew a notable contrast to his storied career, specifically recalling his iconic catch of the final out during the 2016 World Series. While he secured that pivotal out for the Cubs' championship, he was unable to 'haul this one in' during his recent visit, adding a lighthearted note to his tribute.
