MESA, Ariz. Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo always has been proud of his hometown. But Saturday reminded him all over again about the awful new reason he has for his heavyhearted pride.
I was a wreck watching these kids, man, Rizzo said after spending part of the day watching news of coast-to-coast marches against gun violence, led by high school students at his alma mater in Parkland, Florida. Theres 11-year-olds 11-year-olds. Two different 11-year-olds speaking at these rallies. Whats going on, as inspiring as it is, its just I think about what I was doing at 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
These kids are coming together and trying to change a lot of lives and change this nation. Its so amazing to see. At the same time, its so sad because at 11, 12, 13 and in high school, youre supposed to be getting in trouble, messing around, learning about life. Unfortunately, theyre doing what theyre doing now. But its really inspiring to see.
