Moises Ballesteros Hit First Career HR Directly to Anthony Rizzo

-

OH MY GOD! Anthony Rizzo officially retired from MLB today and is celebrating by watching Saturday’s game between the Rays at Cubs in the left field bleachers. Meanwhile, Cubs rookie Moises Ballesteros, who was called up a few days go, hit his first career home run in the second inning to left-center field and no joke, the ball went directly to Rizzo.

You can’t make this stuff up!

But you know the guys are going to bust Rizzo’s balls because that ball went off his hand!

Still, that was incredible. What a moment. I can’t believe it.
