Anthony Rizzo made Moises Ballesteros‘ first major league home run extra special.

The longtime Chicago Cubs first baseman was at Wrigley Field on Saturday for a retirement ceremony, where he was officially named an ambassador for the team. After the ceremony, Rizzo took in the game from the left-field bleachers.

That’s where the rookie Ballesteros launched his first-ever MLB dinger — and Rizzo nearly caught it.
