MESA, Ariz. — So, what happens when you help deliver a team’s first championship in more than a century? Do grateful fans really buy your meals and drinks for the rest of your life?
“Sometimes that happens — oh yeah, definitely,” said Kyle Schwarber, the Chicago Cubs’ left fielder, before an exhibition game the other day. “We’re not here always trying to take advantage of people, but it’s a nice gesture and we get it. We always make sure we try to take care of ’em.”
On the field, the Cubs have continued rewarding fans since their magical championship run in 2016.
