MESA, Ariz. -- Cubs minor league prospect Ian Happ thought it was safe to wear No. 12 in the Arizona Fall League. Until that is, the Mesa Solar Sox got a new player in late October.
Kyle Schwarber. You might’ve heard of him.
“I wore his number in the fall league,” Happ said the other day in the Sloan Park clubhouse. “I wore 12. It was great.”

While Happ was there to work on his game as he prepares to make a leap, it was a brief pit stop for Schwarber on the way to baseball immortality.
