Ballesteros Hits Historic Home Run in Honor of Rizzo at Wrigley

Anthony Rizzo put a special touch on Moisés Ballesteros’ first home run in the Major Leagues. The veteran Cubs first baseman was present at Wrigley Field on Saturday for a retirement ceremony, where he was officially named an ambassador for the team. After the ceremony, Rizzo enjoyed the game from the left field stands. It was precisely there where rookie Ballesteros hit his first home run in MLB, and Rizzo was about to catch the ball.
