Happy Headline: Cubs Player Repairs Windshield Broken by Home Run

Spring training wasn't even officially underway yet. Kyle Schwarber simply had rolled into Arizona early, like so many of his Cubs teammates, hoping to get acclimated and looking to squeeze in some extra swings.

But if Chicago needed a reminder of the hype that's ahead this baseball season, the Cubs' stocky slugger did his part last week, swatting a batting practice home run that sailed so far out of the ballpark it spidered a car windshield in the parking lot.

We learned this, of course, because a fan, Peter Gesler, photographed the damage, slapped it on Instagram and now — in addition to an insurance claim and a relationship with Safelite — has a post that has been liked more than 14,000 times

Chicago Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber used social media to get some help.
During a spring training batting practice, Schwarber hit a home run, sending the ball out of the park and into the parking lot. That ball ended up bouncing off of the windshield of a car owned by baseball fan Peter Gesler.
Peter posted a picture of his shattered windshield on Instagram – and Kyle ended up seeing the picture.
Kyle then used Twitter to arrange to get it fixed, calling upon a mobile windshield repair service to take care of the problem … and leaving Peter with a great story to tell for years to come.
