This afternoon, Anthony Rizzo was honored at Wrigley Field. The new retiree signed a one-day contract to leave baseball as a member of the Cubs.

It makes sense: he was so important there.

He appeared on the field with a Cubs jersey signed by cancer patients in Chicago. It was a nice gesture from a cancer survivor himself, when he was younger.

Clearly, he was warmly welcomed by the fans on hand. #WithRaison

During the match, Rizzo chose to sit in the popular stands at Wrigley Field. So he was with the fans, which made for some really interesting footage under the circumstances.

He almost caught the first home run of Moises Ballesteros' career, but dropped it. He still celebrated with the fans in the bleachers, which was cool to see.

It's also worth noting that Rizzo handed out cards allowing fans in his section to get a free beer, on his arm. So he really made the fans in his section happy.

What a man.
