CHICAGO -- Simultaneously calling it an “honor” and not understanding what the big deal is, Chicago Cubs rookie Kyle Schwarber is getting a kick out of all the attention his home run ball from Game 4 of the division series against the St. Louis Cardinals is getting.
“It’s crazy,” Schwarber said before a Thursday workout at Wrigley Field. “I just look at it as it’s a home run. People are taking it to the next step.”
According to ESPN Stats and Information, the ball traveled 438 feet, landing on top of the new video scoreboard beyond the right-field wall.
