Philadelphia Phillies Outfielder Matt Szczur Giving Back To Community One Painting At A Time

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — He won a national championship as a quarterback at Villanova University. He won a World Series in 2016 as a member of the Chicago Cubs. But did you know that Matt Szczur, the Phillies outfielder and Cape May native, is also an accomplished artist?

“It started as a young kid, I guess,” Szczur said. “My dad did a lot with art, just as a hobby. And then throughout grade school, high school and even in college, I always took art classes to get better at the craft.”

After helping the Cubs to their first World Series title in 108 years, Szczur raised even more money for their foundation.
