Former Chicago Cubs player Anthony Rizzo catches home run balls hit by Michael Busch from the bleachers at Wrigley Field, according to multiple reports. The CBS Sports and Fox News accounts describe Rizzo snagging a home run ball in right-field stands while he is in Chicago. Fox News adds that the catch is the second time Rizzo has caught a Busch home run ball at Wrigley Field, highlighting that it happens despite low odds. The Winnipeg Free Press similarly reports that Rizzo catches Busch’s home run ball in the Wrigley Field bleachers.
CBS Sports notes that Rizzo is in Chicago to celebrate the Cubs’ 2016 World Series victory. Across the outlets, the common elements are Rizzo’s presence at Wrigley Field, his location in the stands, and the fact that the balls he catches come from Michael Busch home runs. The reports do not provide additional details on the game situation, the number of rows from which he made the catch, or any subsequent on-field events.
