Anthony Rizzo wants to play in the All-Star game because he loves Cincinnati

By Blair Sheade

In a promotional video to help Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo gain All-Star votes, Rizzo states he wants to play in the All-Star game because he loves Cincinnati.

Everyone knows, I’m just a big friendly guy, who loves Cincinnati, Rizzo said.

This is a joke.

Rizzo hates Cincinnati ever since he got pissed at Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman and started a bench-clearing fight last season.

If Rizzo is selected to the All-Star game, he won’t have to face Chapman, but the Cubs will face the Reds in Cincinnati on July 2o.
