Kyle Schwarber seemed more impressed Thursday with Jose Bautista’s bat flip than he is with the uproar caused by the search for his celebrated homerun ball.
A day after news cameras discovered the Cubs rookie’s prodigious homer, which led to its temporary enshrinement atop the right field scoreboard at 101-year-old Wrigley Field, Schwarber admitted he enjoyed it to have his moment recognized.
But Schwarber -- who for most of his media session before Thursday’s workout answered questions about the legendary blast -- seemed much more comfortable discussing the legendary bat flip by Bautista, whose three-run homer Wednesday helped the Toronto Blue Jays advance to the American League Championship Series.
