Most recently, the Yankees roster was put on a test recently. Players had to identify their teammates by looking at their childhood pictures. Anthony Rizzo’s childhood picture was also part of the test. Many of his teammates failed to guess it right, but he got it right. But, he had a problem later when Rizzo was put in an unlikeable situation.

It all started when the host came for a conversation with Rizzo. While saying that no one in the team believed this was you, the host asked Rizzo about the age when the picture was clicked. Rizzo replied he did not know, but it must be around two. Then the host said, “You were really cute.” The player did not like it and replied, ” What do you mean, were?” The host rectified his mistake and called Rizzo an adorable and most curious kid ever, with a smile.

Rizzo has done well this season with crucial outings for the team. In 60 appearances this season, he has 32 runs and 11 home runs to his credit. He has been involved in 32 RBIs with an average of 0.274 with an OPS of 0.795. Though there has been a dip in his form in the last few games, Rizzo is still an important figure on the team. Given that many games are yet to be played, his role becomes more crucial. He will look to make the most of the opportunities in the future. Also, with Aaron Judge out with an injury, the team would like to see him score more in the crucial phase of the season. Will he be able to do it? Only time will tell!
