Cubs News: Rizzo nominated for Roberto Clemente community award

---

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is the team's nominee for the Roberto Clemente award that is based on community involvement and philanthropy, announced by the Cubs on Tuesday.

The winner will be announced at the World Series as Rizzo has a great chance with all the exceptional things he does for cancer research with his foundation and the generosity he shows at Children's hospitals.

No surprise here!
