Five of the top 10 neighbors are fellow athletes who shared a clubhouse with Anthony Rizzo — and the sixth is the team itself.
Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition. The top 10 form a clear two-peak structure: a tight Cubs-era cluster at the top, then a secondary band of broader sports-media and entertainment entities. Kris Bryant (0.98) and Jake Arrieta (0.98) are essentially tied at the apex, followed by Kyle Schwarber (0.98) and the Chicago Cubs (0.97) themselves. David Ross (0.97) and Javier Báez (0.95) extend that first peak — six of the top 10 neighbors are either Athletes or the Sports Team they played on together, all scoring above 0.95. That cluster is unusually compressed; the scores barely separate across five positions.
The second peak arrives with a notable drop. Joe Maddon (0.84), classified as a Professional, represents the managerial side of that same Cubs world. Then the set opens outward: Nick Swardson (0.81, Comedian), PointsBet Sportsbook (0.81, Entertainment brand), and Big Ten Network (0.81, TV Channel) round out the 10. These three share no subcategory with each other or with the Cubs cluster — they represent a secondary audience neighborhood defined by Midwestern sports-media consumption and sports-adjacent entertainment rather than baseball fandom specifically.
The shape reveals an audience with an exceptionally strong core identity — one defined almost entirely by a specific team and era — that also carries a secondary layer of general Midwestern sports-media followers.
