Named for a Cubs slugger
Kyle Schwarber hit the ball about as hard as anybody who ever wore a Cubs uniform. In April 2016 he tore up his knee and was supposed to be done for the year. Then he came back in time to hit in the 2016 World Series, and the Cubs won it. A dog named after him had to swing big: bleu cheese, homemade chili, onions and bacon.
