Forget Tony 2 Chains: Rizzo sports new hairdo for Game 2 originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Forget "Tony 2 Chains." How do we feel about straight-haired Anthony Rizzo?
The Cubs are facing postseason elimination on Thursday, and their first baseman is shaking up his look ahead of Game 2 against the Marlins.
We've seen Rizzo shake things up in the past to get an edge on the diamond. His dual-chained alter ego made an appearance earlier this season against Cleveland, and he instantly went deep against Cleveland.
Heck, just last weekend, he got friend and teammate Kris Bryant to rock quality assurance coach Mike Napoli's gold chains, and Bryant hit a grand slam against the White Sox.
He had a similar outcome when switching bats in the 2016 NLCS against the Dodgers. Rizzo used Matt Szczur's bat and went deep in Game 4, breaking out of a slump and helping the Cubs even the series with a 10-2 victory.
Maybe this new hairdo is the next evolution.
