Such a kind gesture proves that Rizzo has a heart of gold. The foundation took to its Twitter account to post two pictures of Anthony sitting at a table signing photos of himself in Yankees action.A.

Rizzo FoundationMany people are unaware that Anthony occasionally visits hospitals, listens to the young patients' stories, and offers to help cancer-stricken families financially. On April 15, he made one such hospital visit, and the foundation posted some sneak peeks of it on Twitter. In the company of Anthony Rizzo, look how the boy in the hospital bed battling cancer has come to life. The wide smile on the little boy's face speaks volumes.A.
