Anthony Rizzo’s Instagram account shows the spoils of winning the franchise’s first World Series title since 1908. There’s a collage from his “Saturday Night Live” appearance with Bill Murray, Dexter Fowler and David Ross. There are pictures from Kris Bryant’s splashy wedding in Las Vegas.
There are beach, sunset and yacht postcards from Thailand, Vietnam (where Rizzo went squid fishing) and the British Virgin Islands (where the All-Star first baseman bumped into Mayor Rahm Emanuel).
