Splash! Anthony Rizzo’s wedding-ring blunder

It won’t officially count as an error, unless you’re asking Anthony Rizzo’s wife.

Rizzo’s wedding ring slipped off his finger and into Belmont Harbor last Friday.

“He’s lost a lot of weight recently and had just washed his hands and was kind of shaking it and it just flew off,” according to Yohei Yamada, the diver Rizzo reached out to help find his ring.

Rizzo, who lost 25 pounds in the off-season, was at the gas dock in his sleek, black speed boat when his afternoon went sideways.

He also had to be somewhere and couldn’t stick around, leaving his wife Emily to point Yamada in the right direction.

Yamada, known as the go-to guy for such blunders, gave himself slim odds of finding the ring, which sank into the weedy lake bed under 21 feet of water.

Yet, after 90 minutes of searching, he emerged, ring in hand.

“There was one little patch of weedless area I was looking in, and it was there,” Yamada said.

Yamada shared a moment of relief with Emily Rizzo and texted a photo of the ring to her husband.

Rizzo’s reply: ‘F--- yes!’

A Cubs spokesman confirmed the nuts and bolts of the story. Rizzo couldn’t be reached for ring-related comment.

“They’re like the nicest couple in the world,” Yamada said of the Rizzos.

The main topic of the conversation he had with them was Lurie Children’s Hospital. The Rizzos have donated millions to the hospital. Yamada’s daughter, who was born prematurely seven months ago, has been in and out of the hospital. Her name is Finn, after her dad’s aquatic footwear.

Rizzo, who returned to the Cubs lineup Wednesday for the team’s final exhibition game after time off to nurse a troubled back, hit a homer in his first at bat.
