My Take
Anthony Rizzo is the kind of ballplayer I respect well beyond the box score. He was at the heart of the Cubs ending their 108-year drought in 2016, a first baseman with Gold Glove defense and a Silver Slugger bat. But what stays with me is the man: a cancer survivor who turned his recovery into a foundation, a Roberto Clemente Award winner, and someone who showed up with grace when tragedy struck the community around his old high school. There is a lot of good character packed into that 190 cm frame, and that, to me, is what real leadership looks like.
