What a good dude.

Humble.

Down to earth.

you know, when I texted him after it was finalized and, you know, he just was like, you know, obviously thank you.

But then he was like, what an amazing place to get to play ball.

Like, I just, I think he, I think he genuinely loves it in Chicago and yes, believes in the organization's future, but also like, you know, these guys have friends around the baseball and who play on other teams.

And yeah,

There's no place like Wrigley.

The Dodgers win more.

The Yankees have as much, if not more, history, obviously.

The Red Sox are in the conversation.

But I can tell you, a day game at Yankee Stadium is not like a day game at Wrigley.

I just saw a clip of Rizzo on a different podcast where if you could play one more game, what would you do?

And he said it'd be a Friday day game at Wrigley.

There's nothing that beats it.

So I think these guys who play for the Cubs know that is it a perfect situation?

No.

But do they have it better than almost all of their friends across the sport?

Absolutely.

Why?
