Best wishes to former Chicago Cubs slugger Anthony Rizzo, who was traded to the New York Yankees yesterday. Rizzo was a 3 time All Star and won 4 Gold Glove awards for his defensive work at first base. Most of all, he will be remembered for being the leader in the clubhouse and a key contributor on the 2016 World Series championship team. Congratulations on a fine career with the Northside and best of luck with your new team.
