Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation 2017 has been an amazing year for World Series Champion and three-time All-Star, Anthony Rizzo. After celebrating helping the Cubs break the 108 year Championship drought and collecting a handful of awards for his performance in the 2016 season, including the Platinum Glove Award, Gold Glove Award, Silver Slugger Award, Fielding Bible Award and Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award, as well as finishing 4th in the NL MVP voting, Anthony made it his mission to springboard that success to insure that 2017 was the best ever for the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation. In 2012, Anthony and his family formed the Foundation to raise money for cancer research and to provide support to children and their families battling the disease. Through the success of the Foundation’s annual fundraisers, including the “Walk-Off for Cancer”, “Cook-Off for Cancer”, “Laugh-Off for Cancer” and “Home Run Challenge”, as well as other private fundraising events, Anthony accomplished his mission. In 2017 alone, the Foundation raised more than $2,000,000 and has pledged $3,500,000 to an endowment fund at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, $650,000 to the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami, and has donated more than $400,000 directly to families battling Cancer. Anthony has also sent approximately 750 letters and autographed items directly to children battling cancer and to help raise money for other fundraising events. With the help of Cubs fans everywhere we will knock Cancer Out Of The Park. .

Reign Men Taps Into a Compelling Oral History of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series
Reign Men taps into a compelling oral history of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series. Talking Cubs heads all top CSN Chicago producers need in riveting ‘Reign Men’ By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, March 23, 2017 Some of the most riveting TV can be a bunch of talking heads. The best example is enjoying multiple airings on CSN Chicago, the first at 9:30 p.m. Monday, March 27. When a one-hour documentary combines Theo Epstein and his Merry Men of Wrigley Field, who can talk as good a game as they play, with the video skills of world-class producers Sarah Lauch and Ryan McGuffey, you have a must-watch production. We all know “what” happened in the Game 7 Cubs victory of the 2016 World Series that turned from potentially the most catastrophic loss in franchise history into its most memorable triumph in just a few minutes in Cleveland. Now, thanks to the sublime re- porting and editing skills of Lauch and McGuffey, we now have the “how” and “why” through the oral history contained in “Reign Men: The Story Behind Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.” Anyone with sense is tired of the endless shots of the 35-and-under bar crowd whooping it up for top sports events. The word here is gratuitous. “Reign Men” largely eschews those images and other “color” shots in favor of telling the story. And what a tale to tell. Lauch and McGuffey, who have a combined 20 sports Emmy Awards in hand for their labors, could have simply done a rehash of what many term the greatest Game 7 in World Series history.

Cincinnati Reds'
Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings October 27, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1998-President Bill Clinton signs the Curt Flood Act, overturning part of baseball’s 70-year-old antitrust exemption, putting baseball on par with other professional sports, when it relates to labor matters MLB.COM Four Reds named NL Gold Glove Award finalists Votto, Duvall, Hamilton, Barnhart one of 3 nominees at respective positions By Daniel Kramer / MLB.com | October 26th, 2017 + 9 COMMENTS The Reds felt they were among the best defensive teams in the National League in 2017, and on Thursday, they were given validation for that assertion. First baseman Joey Votto, left fielder Adam Duvall, center fielder Billy Hamilton and catcher Tucker Barnhart were named Rawlings NL Gold Glove Award finalists. Each player is one of three nominees at his respective position for the prestigious award that recognizes the best defensive player at each position for each league. The four nominations are an NL high for any club. The winners will be unveiled on Nov. 7 at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN. "I think we've got legitimate candidates here to win the award," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "The four guys who have been acknowledged in the final vote is really good, and I'm excited. But I would really like to see us get acknowledged beyond getting into the finalists and actually win some awards." This is the fourth straight year Hamilton has been nominated, though he has yet to win. In 2017, Hamilton converted three five-star catches, rated by Statcast™ as the most elite such outfield plays, those with a catch probability of 25 percent or less.
