Kyle Schwarber can’t wait to watch ‘Field of Dreams’ with his kids. Dad hit a pair of homers there

Kyle Schwarber, the 33-year-old Philadelphia Phillies slugger, is eagerly anticipating a special night with his children. Schwarber grew up in Middletown, Ohio, where he played college baseball at Indiana before spending his first six major league seasons with the Chicago Cubs. The Phillies star connected for two home runs at the Field of Dreams game Thursday night, a site that holds special significance for him as it was the inspiration for the 1989 film of the same name.

Schwarber, who leads the major leagues with 37 home runs, expressed his excitement about sharing this unique experience with his family, particularly his two young children, who currently are too young to understand the movie's significance. The Phillies, who moved a half-game ahead of the idle Arizona team into the third and final wild-card spot for the NL playoffs, credited Schwarber's outstanding performance for providing a much-needed boost to their playoff chances.
