Back in 2015, Kyle Schwarber was getting his first taste of the White Sox-Cubs rivalry and he got a first-hand experience of how intense fans can be. He got beer thrown at him, but even then he wasn’t mad about it and had a perfect response before the series-opener Friday at Wrigley Field.
Here’s what Schwarber said back in 2015 after the incident.
“A TALLBOY, ” SCHWARBER SAID, LAUGHING AFTERWARDS. “AND IT WASN’T EVEN DRUNK ALL THE WAY.
“I GUESS THAT’S WHAT THE SERIES IS ALL ABOUT.”
At the time, David Ross gave him this advice.
“YOU SHOULD HAVE SHOTGUNNED IT AND THEN WENT OVER THERE AND FOUND HIM. I TELL YOU WHAT, I’D HATE TO TRY TO WRAP UP WITH KYLE SCHWARBER.” – ROSS
Well, Schwarber isn’t going to go after a White Sox fan if it happens again, but he might be considering the first part.
