I doubt it'll be anything too revealing, but thought I should give the heads up.

@andrea_herin: @Cubs Who are some people in your life that have influenced you and shaped you into the person and athlete you are today?
AR: First, my grandmother and grandfather. My mom, dad and brother are the biggest influences on me. #AskRizzo (1/2)
AR: Without them, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. #AskRizzo (2/2)

I want to ask this question again, but not on twitter and with better framing.
@C_L_Dubya @Cubs #askrizzo Mr. Rizzo, thank you for living up to expectations thus far! What kind of adjustments do you plan to make for next season?
AR: I’ll work to be a stronger and faster player, and continue to shorten my swing and improve my defense. #AskRizzo

I mean, he's clearly a character guy. I can tell that's a big reason why Hoyer has traded or acquired him so often.
@NewBandDay @Cubs #AskRizzo I am a fellow Hodgkins survivor. How have you changed your life since the diagnosis and remission?
AR: I take nothing for granted, enjoy my family, always try to have fun and smile and don’t sweat the small things. #AskRizzo

@All_Weather_Fan @Cubs When did 1B become your primary position? Any positions from little league you miss playing? #AskRizzo
AR: I started playing 1B full time in high school. The positions I miss from little league are definitely pitcher and catcher. #AskRizzo

@Cubs Is there a particular player you looked up to growing up? Or a player you model/modeled your batting approach after? #AskRizzo
AR: I looked up to Ken Griffey Jr. and Gary Sheffield. For my batting stance, my dad always taught me to be nice and relaxed. #AskRizzo

Left-handed catcher...I don't think that's happened in MLB in, like, 50 years or so

@Cubs When you came up to Chicago was there a particular teammate that really made you feel like you were a part of the family? #AskRizzo
AR: All the guys were really great when I joined the team, but if I had to point to one guy, I’d say Reed Johnson. #AskRizzo
Of course it was Reed Johnson

@Cubs Would you rather have 3 consecutive 50 home run seasons or 3 consecutive Gold Glove seasons? #AskRizzo
AR: 3 straight 50 HR seasons would be incredible, but defense is something I pride myself in. #AskRizzo
Out on this one. Pretty dece, seems like a funny guy.

He seems nice. Met him at Cubs Con along with Brett Jackson. It was really early though and I bet he just wanted to go back to sleep but they signed my baseball for my son :lol:
