Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo was tasked with introducing his friend, teammate and fellow champion David Ross at Friday's World Series parade.

It was emotional.

"He taught myself, personally, how to become a real winner. He's like a brother," Rizzo said through tears. "He's taught me a lot in lifeโ€”on the field, off the field, how to be a better person."

Ross is set to retire, and Rizzo pointed out that in the last game he ever played, he became a champion.

The 39-year-old embraced Rizzo, stepped to the mic and yelled, "Chicago! Look what the boys got me!" while hoisting the Commissioner's Trophy.
