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
