The meaning behind Anthony Rizzo's go-ahead grand slam Friday is a lot deeper than the 366 feet the baseball traveled.
Prior to the game at Chicago's Wrigley Field, according to the Associated Press, Rizzo met a nine-year-old boy named Matteo Lambert in the dugout. Lambert requested a "moonshot" from Rizzo for his group running a 5K race in Chicago's Grant Park to fundraise for childhood cancer.

"That was for him," Rizzo said of his grand slam, referencing Lambert.
