I’ve been at the return game for every 2016 Cubs hero, and they’ve all delivered. The montages put together by the Cubs were on point. The crowd understood the assignment and delivered long standing ovations. Occasionally there were chants, like the crowd chanting “Javy!” when the Tigers came to town earlier this year. But none of those homecomings held a candle to the welcome reserved for Anthony Rizzo this past weekend at Wrigley Field.
The videos were incredible and just a snippet of the love all of us have in our heart for the undisputed captain of the 2016 squad.
