Rizzo proposed to now-fiancee Emily Vakos during Thursday's off day. The romantic that he is, Rizzo set the scene perfectly on Lake Michigan, popping the question with Chicago's beautiful city skyline in plain view.
The reigning National League MVP - Kris Bryant - was also pleased, sending out a congratulatory tweet:
