it's okay, he has success elsewhere and we can work towards the next great team, appreciate what we got from him and how much he worked to bring us something we hadnt had for 108 years
I’m watching this almost 4 years after the Chicago Cubs won the World Series and i still get this warm feeling inside of me knowing that I’m from Chicago and I love this baseball team so much and watching them play if the best thing ever and it’s even better when you get to live so close to Wrigley field it’s just one moment Cubs fans and the city of Chicago will never forget
I’ve watched this video over 50 times. It’s 2022 and I still choke up. Saw him play with Indiana, excited when the Cubs drafted him, always new he would be a great player. But most importantly he resembles my son in all his baseball mannerism, power except my son is right handed. What’s scary is my son even looks like Kyle. My son grew a goat tee and people would say you look like Schwarber at 6ft tall same built but a year older. Which is why when I watch Schwarber it’s like I see my son playing MLB.
The guy has some of the most clutch hits in Cubs history. Couple that with a season ending injury comeback, switching to an entirely new career position, trying to bat lead off, losing 30 lbs in the off-season, etc. Does he have the best stats. No. Although, he has traits so many superstars lack. He has character, spirit, heart, humility, and he's humbled. Ill take a player with that over any punk ass 50 hr arrogant self serving prick any day, and twice on Sunday.
Hear Hear! This man is a legend before his time. We miss him extremely in Chicago. His ex-Cubs teammates miss him extremely. Especially Rizzo. Me & my Wife nick named him: Baby Ruth Jr...☝🏼⚾
When Joe Madden announced that Kyle was going to be on the World Series roster I was thrilled and scared at the same time. And when he came through LIKE A CHAMP on that first at bat??? I have waited all my life for my Cubs to win a WS and they finally did. ON MY BIRTHDAY! How can it get any sweeter?
He’s a special person and a special player, I watched the game when he got hurt and watched the post game interviews, it was like a funeral, didn’t think the team would recover that year because he was such a huge piece of that team. not many players have that impact on men in a locker room. He is a guy you want to go to war with. I’m glad he’s a Cub.
Led league in HR's last season, 2nd most walks of any players so far this season, plays almost every game a season, how can you not love him?@@darkjedi74
All these Cubs players that came before him. Sandburg, Sosa, Jenkins, Maddux, Santo, Banks. All great but, none of them are legends like Kyle mother-fucking Schwarber. Unreal.
I'll agree to disagree. Schwarber was indeed a legend and maybe my favorite player but I'll give the nod to Banks, Williams, and Sandberg. Sad day when he got traded.
Thank you for this great video. He is a great player and I was sad to see him go. He contributed a lot especially when the team needed it the most. No matter what team he is with and when he retires, Kyle will always be remembered as a CUB.
Something I think is pretty weird is 2016 was the Cubs best year, but before that what was their best year? Not record wise but postseason wise? 2003, anybody else remember something similar that happened to a Cub center fielder in 2003? Corey Patterson tore his ACL.. Isn't it kinda funny that the two best Cubs seasons wer years in which two men tore ACLs?!
I remember Corey Patterson, he was going to be awesome until that injury running to first screwed him. Imagine if they had him for the post season that year. But then again the cubs may not have picked up Loften, who was invaluable that second half of the season.
Dated his cousin we would sit and watch all the national televised cubs games at the time since we were out of state and couldn’t watch ever game but thankfully the cubs on national tv a lot at the time
It is so crazy to think about the fact that if Kyle Schwarber had maybe worked 10% less hard in his rehab the cubs woudn't have won the world series. if he was just a little bit too lazy on the recovery or took it easy for a week an lost progress he wouldnt have made it. but he did. amazing.
Video hits even harder now that he isn't a Cub anymore

I'll miss the guy. Heart and soul of the Cubs. Gonna be a long 2021 season
Almost shed a tear.. one of my favorite players because of his work, he’ll get hot... and be an All Star in no time

He will win a ring with Bryce Harper in Philly

@Grande1124 Didn't know his career was over
Grande1124 .815 career ops, that is really good-also extremely clutch in postseason with a 1.016 career postseason ops

WAS a Cub.

@@bruceyoung8036 pointless comment
As a Philly fan I am thrilled to have Kyle with us. Chicago should be embarrassed for letting him go.
As a Cub fan, I love him, and miss him. But the Phillies can keep his sub-Mendoza line batting average and all the K’s! He’s clearly past his prime.

“This guy is special theo, don’t get rid of him”
Unbelievable jean seguras hit got him injured and now they are fighting for a world series ring with the Phillies!
Shit is pretty crazy
We will miss you Kyle!
Who's cutting the DARN onions!!!
Kyle went to my high school and I got to meet him pretty cool guy
So cool!
Beautifully put together. I love this.
Thank you for this great video. He is a great player and I was sad to see him go. He contributed a lot especially when the team needed it the most. No matter what team he is with and when he retires, Kyle will always be remembered as a CUB.
I remember Garrett Cole running his mouth, talking shit about the Cubs, when his team absolutely got hosed in that wild card game.
I’m sad that the Cubs released him :(
pain
Gotta be my favorite Cub
Well eh gone
i love you so much KYLE JOSEPH SCHWARBER im ur #1 fan!!!

Ooo yes Lofton provided a much needed spark that year.. good point, Corey Did rebound tho and was nearly 30-30 in 2004

Chicago will miss him
i cried my balls off when the cubs won and this man was my willis reed.
Clutchbaby back at it again 💯
Marcus stroman had to go through a similar injury. While less significant he had the same type of comeback. He didn't miss a beat
MAN WE NEED LOUDER BACKGROUD MUSIC!
Happy that he's on my team now.Go Red Sox
And now he’s gone🙁🥺
Welcome to the RED SOX
postseason legend! HOF
2:59 apparently you don’t know Buster Posey’s history

Chapter 2?
and look what hes doing now for the nats
So sad. The first of many horrors committed by the Cubs front office after our World Title!
Gee, how is the cubs decision looking now?
But of course the Cubs let him walk….no tendered offer….no trade… He just walked….😢
Lol at the last thing you said well that’s didn’t happen I thought that you thought that corny remark was gonna happen
wait is this run by joe buck??
The World Series something they hadn't seen in over 60 years. Um.. try more like 108
Kelly Anderson 1945 so it was 70 years
yankees stadium
new York
They said hasn't been "seen", not hasn't been "won". They hadn't been TO the World Series since 1945, so that is what they were referring to.
Good thing he didn’t get traded to the Yankees instead of Gleyber Torres cubs wouldn’t have won.
