Cubs legend. Sure-fire Cubs HOF.

Glad to see he'll be a team ambassador.

Thanks for the memories, Rizz.

That tweet is a lie. Plenty of power hitting first basemen in mlb history.
Same number of rings as mark grace, but not as nearly barflys bedded.

The de facto captain of the World Champions and an even better man off the field. Welcome home, Rizz!

Still remember compiling his full '10 BC Auto rainbow.

Always and forever my favorite Cubby.

Look at how Chicago Fans reacted to Derrick rose retiring. A guy who lead his team to Jack and #@#@#@#@.

Should have been a Boston legend.

Instead we got saddled with paper thin crybaby Adrian Gonzalez.

I wonder how many good/great players have a 1st Chrome with one team, a RC with another team, and then became famous for playing on a third team.

Love Rizzo - sad to see a good guy and ballplayer go.

To answer the above - Jason Bay may fit, but that was before the RC rules.
