CHICAGO (AP) Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo jumped onto a wall and plucked a foul ball from above a group of fans at Wrigley Field during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.

Rizzo leapt atop the side wall with both feet just past the tarp, leaned into the crowd and made a circus catch of Keon Broxton's foul pop. He then dismounted back onto the field standing up and broke into a wide smile.

The Wrigley Field crowd followed with ''MVP, MVP'' chants.

Fans were still buzzing and stood and cheered for the All-Star after the final out of the fifth.
