Anthony Rizzo, who played nine seasons for Chicago before being traded to the Yankees in 2021, was 'trying to hold it together' as the Cubs celebrated his return.
"I was trying to hold it together," Rizzo said afterward."But you have to enjoy these moments. I was just being raw. I loved it here. I loved playing at Wrigley every day. The atmosphere is unmatched."
Anthony Rizzo, who played nine seasons for the Chicago Cubs, tips his cap to the crowd after a standing ovation in his first return to Wrigley Field since he was traded to the Yankees in 2021. From 2012 until he left, Rizzo hit more home runs at Wrigley Field than any other player in the league. He was also the de facto team captain as the Cubs went to the postseason five different times.
Before the game, Rizzo said getting traded -- especially to the Yankees -- was the best thing to happen to him because it took him out of his comfort zone.
