Windshield-smasher Schwarber still a catcher

MESA, Ariz. -- Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber did not hit on Field 1 on Friday, so cars parked behind the right-field fence on Clark Street were safe.

On Wednesday, Schwarber launched a batting-practice home run over the screen in right and it smashed a windshield. Fans should note he wasn't hidden on another field to avoid any more accidents.

"Don't park your car out there, I guess," Schwarber said of his advice to Cubs fans. "What do you do? What do you say? It's a home run and it happened to hit the car. Sorry.
