Always and forever, Cubs fans love Anthony Rizzo.

[@Frankieefootballmundial]

I think he should go back to the cubs

[@mitrickroth628]

He will

[@jaredhood9371]

Lifetime Yankees fan here. Cried my eyes out when the cubs won the World Series in 2016, because I love this game! The fans and city of Chicago deserved this, and Rizzo is such an amazing person on and off the field. We love him in pinstripes and we know you hated losing him.

[@JennaLeigh]

Lifelong Cubbies fanatic. Losing Rizzo/Baez/Bryant gutted me. Take good care of our boy in NY. ❤

[@marcwarren4393]

Thanks 👍👍

[@DavidRead91]

I’ll never understand how our front office could trade this guy. What an absolute class act

[@steveperry3572]

Jed Hoyer wanted to make his mark. Other than Rizz, Schwarber, and Contreras- Bryant and Baez are done.

[@JohnnyBRad]

Didn’t plan on tearing up on a Friday but here we are. Miss you Rizz

[@baylake1888]

Same.

[@cptsparklfingerz9210]

I’m a Yankee fan and I teared up. We loved getting Rizzo, and it’s sad the concussion has really killed his career. But he’s forever a Cub and probably the most beloved Cub ever. He’s always been one of my favorite players growing up watching. I’m glad he got a ring too, especially with the Cubs

[@JohnnyBRad]

@@cptsparklfingerz9210 thanks for taking care of him

[@johnmac-xz9rd]

Cub forever! Ty Rizzo 😊

[@DountDract]

Yes cubs forever! Let’s go Rizzo!

[@bobbyheenan4061]

Um, no. He already said he wants to retire as a Yankee, and always be a Yankee.

[@amonrodriguez3518]

Ya he changed for the worse. Too bad. Rizzo used to be a really likable dude, clearly you can see that in the video. But now it’s hard to like him. Very classy by Chicago

[@Wangmhon2023]

Man do I remember 2016… Rizzo is a true leader for us to win that year. Cubs forever

[@jamesleahy265]

very classy Chicago. beautiful way to honor a champion

[@リーフライプス]

You are a Chicago hero and I will never forget you.

[@youarethecreator1]

Me too

[@russellodean5591]

He and Kerry Wood are my favorites. A well deserved and earned welcome back to Wrigley.

[@kickthesky]

I'm not crying. You're crying... such a classy player and always a Chicago Cubs hero.

[@roderickl9539]

You're a Cub forever, AR! Thank you!

[@lizrutherford2656]

Anthony Rizzo is good people. ❤

[@SafetyisFirst]

It's simple win a championship for Chicago and you're set for life in Chicago.

[@DavidIvie-ux3ci]

Rizzo will always be a cub no matter what team he is on❤️

[@LakeFX]

Always #44 in our hearts 💙💙💙

[@timtam146]

My captain forever Anthony Rizzo the epitome of a great human being

[@MegaDubbz]

Anthony Rizzo such a class act. He visited my grand daughter in Lurie's and was so kind to her. I still remember eating lunch at Buffalo Wild Wing's on 7/29/2021, and seen that Rizzo was traded. This made me mad, sad, angry that I lost my appetite. Rizzo you will always be a cub, once a cub always a cub 4 life. Chicago loves you Anthony Rizzo and don't ever for get that CHAMP.

[@jamesfarrell8339]

Beautiful moment Cubs fans are special

[@jkim92677]

He is so loved in Chicago!

[@DJROMUSIK]

very classy Chicago. from a Yankee fan, I was rooting for yall that year . Hope Rizzo gets hot this October wers gonna need it

[@JennaLeigh]

As a lifelong Cubbies fanatic, thank you guys for loving him like we do! I know Yankees fans hold their team to a high standard. We're glad he's being treated so well by you all❤❤

[@DJROMUSIK]

@JennaLeigh absolutely. he deserves it. hoping he brings one home so he and judge can go down as yankee legends.

[@bjorkflannigan2140]

Instant chills.

[@chigrows312]

[@theprezidentgaming]

really brought tears to my eyes... Thanks for everything Rizzo

[@dennissologaistoa3376]

Thank you Captain... GO CUBS NATION 4 LIFE !!!!

[@ryanhahn3651]

As great a player as Rizzo was, he was and IS a greater person and that’s what matters most.

[@billwindsor4224]

An elite baseball player with a great heart, Anthony Rizzo. And kudos to Chicago for doing this; a classy production. 🏆🏆

[@meganwelty9420]

Rizzo has been and will always be my favorite cub player

[@Frankieefootballmundial]

Did they did a tribute to Javier Baez or Kris Bryant.

[@meganwelty9420]

@@Frankieefootballmundial they did when Kris Bryant came back with the Rockies

[@czrad8125]

For both

[@kellsmo9488]

Him and Javy were the first players in years that I wanted to pay to watch play. Complete professional and local legend.

[@colleenadrian3847]

Forever a Cub! Thank you for giving us the memory of the trophy coming home to Chicago! Your contributions will never be forgotten! The comment about him being the "Scarecrow" could not be more appropriate!

[@JimScannell-m8f]

A true hero! We all miss you!

[@elle-ashleigh1022]

44ever! Ty Rizzo! Rizzo forever and always 🎉❤

[@nodnarbleahcim5097]

Been waiting for this moment since he was traded away. Always a Cub, we owe him everything!!

[@Wildvideonyc]

A class act and a fine man as well as a ballplayer with an illustrious history. Cubs fans are lucky to have such a hero even as he plays out the twilight of his career in another unform. I have no doubt that he will return to the Cubs in some capacity. Theres simply too much mutual affection between Chicago and Anthony Rizzo to ignore.

[@robertm.serrato258]

Rizzo baby! Always a Cub! Love from Chicago

[@jh1719]

Thank you Rizzo for everything you did for the Cubs and the City of Chicago! We Chicagoans are eternally grateful! 🙏🏻

[@robertmalagon2984]

The ONE AND ONLY N 44 ANTHONY RIZZO CHICAGO CUB 4EVER

[@flxurp]

I still remember his catch at first base from Bryant in 2016… the good days 🥲

[@brentmcmillin1247]

As a Cubs fan him and Bryant were my two childhood favorites, love you Ant. ❤

[@alexwhalen5356]

WELCOME HOME RIZZO! Thank you for being with us during the bad, the good and the GREAT times (2016)

[@HenryT316]

Cubs fan since 98' he's my all time favorite Cub

[@jamesstanley6474]

A Great Cub , and an even greater man . We love you

[@mitrickroth628]

Thank you Champ! We will love you forever!

[@LaserionBlack]

Maybe now he is a Yankees member, but he will be remebered as a Cubs legend forever!

[@dh3279]

One of the classiest and funniest and most watchable athletes in all of sports. Not a Cubs or Yanks fan, but I LOVE Rizzo!

[@oshkoshdom2197]

Classy move by the Cubs to honor Rizzo as well as others from the 2016 WS team

[@storytimewithunclebill1998]

Awesome Tribute to an awesome player. Forever a Cub. GO CUBS!!! Was fun to watch. Great video

[@dominicanme7652]

Will always be loved and always a cub 💯🫡💪🏻

[@YouTubeAuditor1]

Rizzo is a great player, everything the Cubs needed him to be. He never set any records, he won't make the hall of fame, and will eventually fade away to be forgotten, like most great players from the past. But this is what baseball is about, appreciating the moments while we still have them. Thank you for the memories, Rizzo.

[@MrCeeberz]

IS AND FOREVER WILL BE A CUB! TY RIZZO FOR ALL THOSE WONDERFUL YEARS!

[@JDubs997]

What a classy way to honor a first class player! I'll always root for Rizzo (except when he plays my Orioles)

[@Errand_Lad67]

Sport gives lots of emotions,memories,pain,tears,joy,money. But most of all sense of appreciation, thankfulness and recognition. Leaving from somewhere shouldn't be in bad terms. But coming back should show the greatness of a person who comes back.

[@kennyminecrafting]

I absolutely despise the Yankees, but my respect and admiration for Rizzo will never be tarnished. I still have a box of Rizzos sitting in the kitchen on display.

[@jamie1763]

That’s real class Chicago. Once a cub always a cub.

[@killerjag]

Revisiting this video 2 months later and it's got me tearing up again. I wish so badly that he could have stayed with the Cubs. Leading up to the trade deadline in 2021 I had already made peace with the fact that Bryant and Baez were probably gone, even though it was still going to hurt. Rizzo being traded seemed like it came out of nowhere and was like a punch to the gut. I've never felt so heartbroken to see a player leave one of my favorite teams.

[@mikegillespie8969]

He was the heart and soul of the Cubs

[@JennaLeigh]

I've said it forever and i stand on it- Rizzo looks best in royal blue pinstripes. And it makes my heart happy to see my fellow Cubbies fanatics still love him as much as i do!

[@OrlandoS1111]

Was 20 years old when I saw the best Cubs team ever win their rings. That feels like long ago already, Rizzo is an absolute Cubs legend forever, missing that team and core so much 🐻🐻🔥

[@brianmorgan7250]

Awesome job highlighting Rizzo. Forever a Cubbie.

[@marlytowers8660]

Rizzo you will always be loved in Chicago.

[@kennybegeske8824]

44 Forever

[@WhatRYouAimingAt]

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

[@irt3rdavenueel172]

Once a Cub always a Cub. Thanks Rizzo for all you done when with the Cubs from ‘12-‘20. Tommy Kahnle followed in your footsteps by wearing number 44 when in Los Angeles with the Dodgers like you worn with the Cubs but he also worn the number you currently wear today (number 48). The Cubs fans really miss you on the team but when you came to the Yankees you jumpstarted the team in 2022 a year after came to the Yankees after the Cubs traded you

[@Higs8091]

They should've given him whatever he wanted. Still salty that he isn't here. Thanks for all the awesome memories 44

[@m80music]

Love u Rizz. My favorite player of all time ❤

[@acsgrlie]

Love that they played his walk up song too 🥲

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
