At the 2025 Italian American Baseball Foundation Gala in the Bronx, award-winning broadcaster Alanna Rizzo spoke with World Baseball Network about three pillars of her career and identity: representation in baseball media, the power of bilingual storytelling, and her lifelong commitment to dog rescue through Guidry’s Guardian Foundation.
Rizzo reflected on working alongside Emma Tiedemann in MLB’s first all-women baseball broadcast, explained why speaking Spanish is a critical bridge in today’s global baseball landscape, and opened up about her ongoing mission to save dogs from high-kill shelters.
Her passion, heritage, and advocacy continue to elevate the game far beyond the field.
