New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizo is one of the most successful and accomplished major league players in the field right now.
He has won gold gloves, he has been to the All-Star Games, and among other things he has won a World Series championship.
But his work outside of diamonds may be his most influential contribution.
Through Rizzo’s foundation, she raises awareness and raises funds to help pediatric cancer patients.
He has been doing this for some time since he became a member of the Chicago Cubs, and this is something that clearly fills him and gives him happiness.
We are sure that the kids she meets and helps make them even happier to see her in person.
“Whatever the pinstripe is @ Arizo 44 Wear, LurieChildrens Always be at home. We were so excited to go back to the hospital in person and see the kids and the faces we missed so much! “, Tweeted the Anthony Rizzo Foundation.
Pinstripe anyway @ Arizo 44 Wear, LurieChildrens Always at home 💛 we were so excited to go back to the private hospital and see the kids and see all the faces we missed so much! pic.twitter.com/kafdNHN8i2

Spread the joy
She was seen sharing some touching moments with the kids and their families, giving them some presents, jerseys, balls and Yankees hats.
People may have no idea how much these little ones enjoy seeing, talking and hugging one of their idols, a person who helps with their expenses and raises funds for their treatment.
The Rizo Foundation is one of the best player initiatives to help off the field.
We certainly hope Rizo will be involved and other players will help in the same way over the next year.
One of the joys of being a major league player is sharing your passion for life and playing around the youngest.
