Anthony Rizzo Leaves Cubs Spring Training for his Alma Mater
NBC Sports reported that Anthony Rizzo departed Cubs camp to be with his community in the wake of the mass shooting Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
“Please go. Please take your time,” was the manager’s message to Rizzo reported by ESPN. “Please do what you think you need to do and let us know is there some way that we can become involved and help.”
Sun Sentinel reported that the Cubs star player Rizzo became emotional at the vigil held for the victims Thursday night for his alma mater, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
Parkland and Coral Springs please stay strong! This is out of control and and our country is in desperate need for change. I hope In this darkest of times back home this brings everyone together and we can find love. You’re all in my prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻
