CHICAGO -- At the tender age of 22, Kyle Schwarber already has the Chicago Cubs' postseason record for home runs.
Now, Cubs playoff records are a little more modest than, say, those of the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals, but Schwarber should have plenty of opportunities to add more records next to his name.
His future is full of dingers that disappear deep in the night and are eventually covered in plexiglass atop a videoboard.
After the Cubs, winners of 97 games in a thoroughly enjoyable, highly surprising regular season, were swept out of the National League Championship Series with an 8-3 loss to the New York Mets, Schwarber, with grass stains on his knees from his adventures in left field, stood at his locker and talked about the present and the future.
