Jonathan Lucroy and Anthony Rizzo became teammates Friday, forming a one-two punch rivaling the best in baseball.
No, the Brewers did not trade their catcher ahead of a weekend series with the Cubs. Rather, the two all-stars are teaming up in the fight against cancer.
Putting aside their Milwaukee-Chicago rivalry, Lucroy and Rizzo are joining with USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin, Aurora Health Care and Roundy's Supermarkets for the "Cancer Knows No Borders" campaign.
"As a two-time cancer survivor, today it's my honor to be able to team up with some amazing partners," said Pam Henson, president of USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin.
