Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber is on the precipice of being as synonymous to franchise history as 2025 Wall of Fame inductee Jimmy Rollins. After the slugger's historic four-home run game last week, news broke that he would be guest starring in an episode of Abbott Elementary, according to MLB.com's Paul Casella.
The Athletic's Matt Gelb began his recap of that historic game by summarizing exactly what the veteran "Schwarbomb" machine means to the city of Philadelphia (subscription required) in the four seasons he's played in the City of Brotherly Love, both on the field and in the community, that's done the same thing for the city as Abbott Elementary has done on prime time television.
