The only thing I like more than watching Anthony Rizzo playing baseball is Anthony Rizzo playing baseball while wearing a microphone (okay, there are other things like my wife and Portillo’s, but it’s a pretty short list).
Fortunately, the Cubs just delivered exactly that in the latest video from their YouTube channel. So sit back, relax, turn up the volume (you’re probably working from home, your boss will never know) and watch Anthony Rizzo say and do silly things during baseball games.
If only we could hear this live all the time:
Among my favorite parts … Anthony Rizzo calling everybody “baby.” Anthony Rizzo singing Kanye West (and about a million other songs). Anthony Rizzo razzing the umpire’s berries.
And, most of all, Anthony Rizzo messing with his new friend, Jason Kipnis:
Later on, Rizzo was chirping Kipnis for talking to his new niece (evidently he’s a first-time uncle!), with Rizzo saying “She can’t understand what you’re saying….”
Rizzo also runs through a series of songs – out loud – that he wants to walk up to, including “Fallout Boy … I saw them on my senior graduation trip … one of them touched my hand.”
I hope he never changes.
