ANTHONY RIZZO RUMORS

Chicago Cubs’ first baseman had a pretty nice start to his MLB career. It looks as if he’s finally made it big. Pictured about is Rizzo with San Diego Padres’ pitcher Casey Kelly hanging out with Miss Florida and Miss California. Yup. Miss Florida and Miss California. For those of you keeping score at home that’s Michelle Aguirre and Mabelynn Capeluj. Well done.
