If HORSE could be applied to the game of baseball, Kyle Schwarber would be the damn king. Known for crushing a home run that landed (and stayed) on top of the scoreboard at Wrigley Field, Schwarber is now showing off his ball placement elsewhere.
Unfortunately, it was at the expense of someone’s car windshield, as seen in this photo from Cubs practice in Arizona:

The silver lining, though, was that the person on the receiving end of Schwarber’s ball placement didn’t seem too upset about it. It also looks like they may receive some help for the inconvenience. On his Twitter account, Schwarber recruited Safelite, an auto glass company, to lend some assistance. And, of course, Safelite obliged.
Hey @safelite can you help this guy out? pic.twitter.com/xvGMgZP0nM

Now the only thing left for Schwarber to do is complete the “-RSE” by hitting a baseball into a swimming pool, a trash can and someone’s soda cup. This is certainly possible given Schwarber’s recent track record. As for anyone who may be parking near the Cubs’ offseason camp, may we recommend moving your car back a few spots.
Chicago’s slugger hit 16 home runs in just 69 games last season, making for a nice debut with the Cubs.
