Anthony Rizzo's cereal

Anthony Rizzo is one of the better young baseball players in the majors, and he is now in some pretty exclusive company. Rizzo is getting his own cereal on store shelves in the Chicagoland area.

They are appropriately named “RizzO’s”, similar to that of Cheerio’s. The honey nut toasted oats hit Jewel-Osco shelves on Wednesday. So if you’re lucky enough to have a location near you, you might want to get yourself a box.

The cereal will be limited, and will only be available while supplies last. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the cereal can also be purchased online at PLBSports.com and Amazon.com.

PLB Sports has launched cereals for other athletes in the past, such as Jerome Bettis and Jason Witten.

According to NBC 5 Chicago, a portion of the proceeds benefit the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation. The foundation raises money for cancer research and to provide support to children and their families battling cancer.
