PHILADELPHIA – Kyle Schwarber went to bed early last Sunday ahead of the Home Run Derby. He had to compete the next day. He woke up to a photo of Ian Happ posing with the Schwarber family.
“He goes, ‘Man, you’ve changed,’” Schwarber recounted to the Sun-Times with a smile.
Schwarber was well represented during All-Star week, too. His wife, four-month-old son (who Happ was meeting for the first time), father, two sisters and their husbands, and a couple friends came to Los Angeles for the festivities.
“They all got to see Ian [the first night] except me,” Schwarber said.
