He may play the outfield like Sith, but on August 22, Philadelphia’s Kyle Scwarber will be all Jedi as the team celebrates Star Wars night at Citizens Bank Park.
“Schwarbie Wan Kenobi” bobbleheads will be given away when the Phillies host the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. This will be the second time this month that Schwarber is involved in a promotion.
The team gave away replicas of his jersey on August 6th and the slugger responded by forcing in runs against the Royals. The Phillies were down 4-3 in the second inning when Schwarber crushed a two-run home run 421 feet to center field. He’d gone 0-for-19 prior to the game, but went 3-for-4 for the night as the Phillies went on to win the game 8-4.
