The little girl was so excited to see Rizzo she couldn’t stop smiling. In the video, she said she was a huge Cubs fan and Rizzo was her favorite player. She even named her cat Rizzo.
Rizzo signed some autographs, took a picture and made this little girl’s day.
This is amazing! What an amazing young girl! Stay strong! http://t.co/zG0peGWvNP

This wasn’t the first time Rizzo surprised a Cubs fan with gifts. He surprised a Cubs superfan who’s been a season ticket holder for 17 years with an authentic jersey.
Here’s what people said about Anthony Rizzo’s kindness:
