Favorite Athlete

My favorite athlete of all time will always and forever be Michael Jordan. However, I am not easily star-struck and am just as easily impressed with a local hero doing good things as I am with a truly “famous” person. That said, my favorite current athlete is Anthony Rizzo of the Chicago Cubs. Along with perennially being one of the top 20-players in MLB, he is the consummate professional and teammate and appears to play the game the same way he probably did when he was a little-leaguer (which is how it should be played).

Favorite Quote

“Magnanimous people have no vanity, they have no jealousy, and they feed on the true and the solid wherever they find it. And, what is more, they find it everywhere.”

- Van Wyck Brooks
