Overview

• Yohei Yamada, a Chicago-area diver who retrieves lost items for boaters, says he found and returned a ring after it flew off Rizzo’s hand when he shook his hands dry on a boat.
• Yamada told Block Club Chicago that Rizzo had recently lost weight, which he believes contributed to the ring slipping off into the lake.
• Coverage diverges on the ring’s identity, with TMZ, People and PennLive calling it a World Series ring, while Bleacher Report and OutKick report it was his wedding band.
• Rizzo has not publicly commented on the incident or clarified which ring was recovered.
• Yamada says he recovers hundreds of valuables each summer, calls rings the hardest to locate, and sometimes charges about $100 if he is already suited up, noting Rizzo tipped him a few dry $100 bills.
