Bigger than baseball: Rizzo inspiration for young Cubs fan
Two Cubs fans traveled all the way from Atlanta to Mesa for the Crosstown Cactus League match-up as a way to celebrate young Wyatt Johnson being cancer-free for now three years. Wyatt fell in love with Anthony Rizzo as his favorite baseball player because of Rizzo’s own cancer battle.
“You can tell your kid that they can do anything, and cancer can’t stop him and won’t hold him back,” Mike Johnson, Wyatt’s father, said. “He wants to be a baseball player and he can be. Nothing will hold him back.”
