Watch an emotional Anthony Rizzo tear up during his tribute to David Ross
One of the things that made this Chicago Cubs team so special and successful was the strong bond between the players. And perhaps none was stronger than the one between Anthony Rizzo and David Ross.

So when it came time for Rizzo to speak at the Cubs’ victory parade on Friday, it was no surprise that he got emotional when talking about his outgoing teammate:
And speaking of great teammates, that was Jason Heyward who helped Rizzo wipe away a tear.
