This is awesome, I wonder if any of the other 2016 guys will make it for the ceremony

Bryant is volunteering to go back on the IL in order to make it in

honestly took a 50/50 guess of whether he was already on the IL or active.

Rizzo will get this team headed in the right direction to finish this year off.

Future manager Rizzo?

Im sure Lester, Ross, Fowler, and Zobrist will definitely be there, maybe Heyward, Miggy, and Arrieta

More like a 90/10 guess

One of the greatest trades in recent history. Dude showed up here and just raked AND was the heart and soul of the team

His fall off makes me more sad than Bryant's but damn is it horsefeathered that Bryzzo is hanging by the thinnest of threads just 9 years after the championship.

so the yankees' inability to diagnose his concussion correctly/at all destroyed his career, right?

Sure seems that way.

Expanded rosters, seeming indifference to actually carrying a full set of healthy players....just let him suit up Saturday and get a PA or an IP.

[Banedon]

Had to go get a couple of tickets to Saturday's game.

Rizzo and Aramis are my 2 favorite corner infielders by a wide margin

Really glad they spent some real time highlighting his humanitarian efforts. We didn't deserve the Rizz

[NorthsideAvenger]

Some comments on BN claim Rizzo is a traitor because Anthony made some nice comments about the Yankees. I could not help but laugh.

Sucks that Rizzo is calling it a career but he had a heck of a career. Can not wait until the Cubs put him in their HOF.

It warms my heart to know that this means we'll be Rizzo make frequent visits to Wrigley in the years ahead. For the roller coaster ride we've been on this season, the return of Sammy and now Rizzo retiring as a Cub will go down as my two favorite moments from this season and neither had anything to do with the game on the field.

Same; add in Dawson as my favorite corner outfielder.
