Anthony Rizzo<\/a> made Moises Ballesteros<\/a>‘ first major league home run extra special.<\/p>\n

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

That’s where the rookie Ballesteros<\/a> launched his first-ever MLB dinger — and Rizzo nearly caught it.<\/p>\n

What an incredible moment for both players.<\/p>\n
