For over a hundred years, the Chicago Cubs were synonymous with one thing: losing.
But in 2016 they flipped the script, winning their first World Series since Teddy Roosevelt was in the White House. It was a moment a century in the making, but it wouldn’t have been possible without one player.
A player who, just weeks before, would have been the last person anyone would have expected to even appear on the field, let alone play the hero.
This is the story of how Kyle Schwarber returned from the most devastating injury of his career, and propelled the Cubs to one of the most legendary championships in baseball history.

It's crazy how little this gets talked about. He came in to the world series without a hit on the season and crushed the ball, that shouldn't be possible. Another great video btw, keep it up!
Trust me it gets talked about. He’ just hasn’t been relevant until this year to get brought up
I remember watching this game and laughing at my Cub fan friends cuz a guy with no hits on the year was up. Boy I looked silly
No pressure for him
even pete rose didnt think so either but!!!!!!
I assure you no Cubs fan will ever stop talking about him.
that Giants Kris Bryant joke hurt more than it should have.
Take it from a Cubs fan
Not even a Cubs fan but it still hit me funny.
That hurt.
It enraged me lol.
It's even funnier now since he's now a Rockie
I came to the US at 2 years old. one of my very first memories is my uncle telling me "we speak english and love baseball." growing up in chicago i learned to love our losing cubs. i was in highschool when they won the world series and i remember balling my eyes out. My uncle called me saying "we finally did it mijo we won!" thank you for this video Baseball Historian, you are a gift to this platform
This story brings happiness to my heart great share brother🙏🙏
Great story bro I remember the first time I ever walked up the stairs going to my seat at Wrigley field when I was 9 years old I balled my eyes out I can def relate bro
💪🏾
Very relatable
I ugly cried the night the Cubbies won
Schwarbs is a forever a hero in Chicago. Much love from us cubs fans. Hope he mashes for a long time wherever he’s at.
On the Phillies now
Definitely mashing it lmao leads league in homers
As a Phillies fan, we’ve grown to absolutely love Kyle Schwarber this season
@@ZanraiKid he’s a living legend
He's at the Phils!
As a Nationals fan, I will never forget the joy he brought to this otherwise disappointing season when he hit all those dingers in June. When he went down with the hammy, it all went down for the Nats.
Schwarber is a beast. That injury basically wrecked any hopes left for the season.
@@YellowSkarmory If That Injury Never Happened Schwarber Would've Had An Historic Season
If that injury never happened, i don’t think you would have traded Trea or Soto
Or at least, not until a while later
The 2016 World Series will always go down as my favorite. I’m a diehard orioles fan. But I’m a baseball fan first and foremost. And though I love both teams that played (my grandfathers team is Cleveland, and ryne sandberg was one of my favorites growing up) I was rooting for Chicago the whole way. The drama of game 7 is exactly why this sport is the greatest. There’s so many potential outcomes, and it makes for great moments. And digging deeper into kyles journey that year just makes the 2016 World Series just that much more precious and memorable. Cos I love this game! “It’s hard not to be romantic about baseball.”
More embarrassing than impressive. They barely won
@Spike they were the best team in baseball and won it all that year.. so embarrassing
Almora's tagging and advancing to second on a sacrifice fly shouldn't go barely-mentioned.
Exactly! The stars aligned that inning. Schwarber’s single, Almora’s tag up, the intentional walk on Rizzo, Zobrist’s RBI double, and Miguel Montero’s RBI single. It relieved so much tension off the backs of millions.
It was the key moment of that game
Revisiting this in a year later after Schwarber hit that Nuke in Game 1 of the 22 NLCS....wow
As a lifelong Cubs fan, getting to relive this series of events meant a lot to me (especially after how things have turned out)... thank you so much for this video!... it literally brought tears to my eyes.
The joke about Clayton Kershaw😭😭😭😭😭
0:12 that bear on the screen is giving me nightmares…
Retro Baseball. yeah. That is 1 WILD look`in ass BEAR!! CHICAGO BEARS? Bears played football at Wrigley then!!!
Damn Kershaw caught a stray there lmao
Always loved to see Kyle Schwarber at the plate since his debut but his return to help the Cubs win that October Classic turned him into an immediate favorite of mine, since then I have been rooting for him no matter where he goes. Thank You for this great video, one that I will enjoy again and again !
Blessings from San Juan PR 🇵🇷, the land of 5 Hall Of Famers.
Your presentation is literally making Secret Base look like Public Top
I remember game 7! I remember screaming and upsetting my neighbors as Davis hit that home run. I didn't have a horse in the race either way. Such a great series.
as a cubs fan I thought it was over. probably a top 3 moment in my life the cubs winning the world series. ran outside and people are honking their horns cruising down the street super slow. parked at green lights getting out of their cars, scremaing into thin air i sweaer it was insanity
I’m never gonna forget watching the cubs win the World Series 😢
Fantastic videos man. You’re up there with baseball bits in terms of video quality
4:20 Wow. That hurt.
Literally my favorite player still and my favorite in recent cub history. I was so heartbroken when we didnt sign him back in the offseason. If the cubs know whats right they will try to get him back this offseason
Thank you so much for this awesome content. I can’t recommend this to my friends enough and you bring out a side of the game that the younger generation rarely gets to see. Thanks for preserving the game’s past.
The ease into sound during Rajai Davis’s at bat definitely earned a sub. Masterful editing
As a Cleveland fan this still hurts so much
I feel the pain trust me being a Cubs fan since 92 before 15 I only made the playoffs twice and I was used to losing seasons because that was the Cubs way I always had respect for Cleveland Always said the greatest team to never win it was the
95 Indians but yet the biggest heartbreak for Indians had to be 97 what was it two outs away from winning it all smh
@@donatrandom but at least Chicago still had Michael Jordan
I got so caught up in how crazy the Mets 2015 surprise run was that I totally forgot how insane Schwarber was
I randomly stopped on espn and watched the power of this kid who played for Indiana. He had a cool last name. But most importantly as a little league coach he resembled my son in batting stance, catcher, speed and even body and looks. Got excited when Cubbies selected him in the draft. Saw his first game vs Cincinnati. Made it to Wrigley with my son on Schwarber’s first game. Had them custom made Cubs Schwarber game jersey made for my son that day (first one ever because the guy didn’t even know who he was). But I knew that swing would be special. I had dreams my son could be the next Schwarber but a damn high school football injury ruined our dreams. 7 titanium screws and a plate to repair his ankle. I was so upset when Schwarber got traded. I almost threw away all my Cubs gear. Well we both live through Schwarber now and will always support him. I love watching him play because I see my son in him too. Except for the strike outs. My son had a better eye…lol. Keep hitting them far Mr. Schwarber because you are very special in more ways than one. Btw thank you for bringing a World Series to Chicago. That I will never forget!
Awesome video.... What's up, Kyle? I know you'll see this.
I wish they would of included his written report by Kyle's Cub scout. He said, "Kyles bat is the sound that Babe Ruth's would make."
IU Bloomington loved Kyle Schwarber
I love your vids I'm so happy you got sponsored!
Me too! Thanks for watching
your so underrated bro, great video!
awesome video as always. Schwarber's 2016 was absolutely insane
Amazing video as always. I was hyped, sad, and everything in between watching this
Red Sox legend
LOVE that pic of WRIGLEY at 0:34 secs!!
Just found this channel, keep up the good work
We all knew a Cubs video was coming soon
It would be cool to see one of these on Marcus Stroman’s 2015 season, tore his ACL in spring training and was supposed to be out til 2016 and he went back to Duke to rehab, and also graduated at the same time, then made it back for the end of the Jays postseason push in September and was lights out in his few starts and in the post season.
I’ve been a Cubs fan my whole life and I know I am saying this 5 years after the win but this was awesome
His HR against St.Louis in the 2015 NLDS is top 3 in cub history
The one against Pittsburgh in the Wildcard is Top 10 as well and my personal favorite home run of my lifetime
As a Cubs fan, I think that video was awsome. Thank you for making this video, Baseball Historian. Now that the Cubs traded Kris Bryant, like he mentioned, and Javier Baez, and also Anthony Rizzo, Willson Contreras is my favorite player for the Cubs. Before they traded everybody, Willson Contreras and Javier Baez were my favorites. Now it is Willson Contreras. Nico Horner is my second favorite player.
Quality video 👍 This what great sports content looks like!
great video man!
12:40 I appreciate, and highly respect a little self-deprecating humor every now and then. I'll subscribe to that channel based on that alone. Cheers. 🍻
@14:59 Ozuna's bomb on Kershaw in the 2020 NLCS. After they had been playing those annoying Hankook Tire (or whatever) commercials non-stop during that series... starring Clayton Kershaw. You know the ones, "What's he gonna chase? A slider? Nahh. A changeup? etc..." And then immediately after that, people started posting the commercial and spliced in the Ozuna bomb. God those were great. Just splicing in after Kershaw goes something like "Oh... I've got it...", and then he winds up and starts his throw... and then just before he's supposed to strike the dude out in the commercial they just cut to that bomb -"THAT IS A BLAST! WAAAAY OUTTA HERE!!". Man that was great.
There are few moments in pro sports like the 2016 Cubbies winning it all. Shwarbs coming back was fortuitous to say the least.
you have such an enjoyable voice to listen to. fantastic video my friend!
I had completely forgotten about this. What an amazing comeback!
Love your videos, keep em coming. Though the Kershaw comment was messed up. lol He got over that hurdle already.
While your on the topic of former Nats players. I would love a video on Tanner Roark. Such a peculiar case.
I still won't forget back when the cubs went down down 3-1against the Indians I was telling everyone that kyle Schwarber was gonna be a stud as a DH and win world series MVP was wrong on the mvp part but he was a stud nonetheless!
*edit* also noticed miguel Montero didn't get recognition for that RBI that put us up for good.
I remember calling him the “Great Schwarbino” while I was riding his fantasy baseball greatness.
This is the greatest youtube video i've ever seen. Thanks!
How does this channel only have 21k subs? They put out THE best stories about baseball on UA-cam, period. (2 periods)
Please do find the means to hire a team of baseball nerds, so we can get this content more frequently.
Thank you,
Bobby Cox
I get chills everytimes I see that play. The play that ended game 7.
Life long Cubs fan...well done. Bravo!
I remember that cubs vs Indians series. It was a great one to watch as a fan of neither team.
Kershaw in the playoffs deep cut hit me hard.
Still remember hearing he was coming back for the world series. I couldn't believe it!
As a Giants Fan I was happy to see the CUBS wins the WS. The videos was correct, very fun team to root for.
Fun fact. Did u know: William Wrigley was the 1st owner in sports to have his companys` name(WRIGLEY CHEWING GUM!) on a major sports stadium? WRIGLEY FIELD!!!
great video
As a Red Sox fan.. I'm grateful I got to witness not only the 0-3 come back against the Yankees and then the curse ending championship that followed, but also getting to see The Cubs break their curse. With the Theo connection, I think a lot of Red Sox fans were happy for it as well.
you outta do this for CJ Cron.
dislocated his knee on a swing playing pioneer ball for the angels's affiliate orem owlz and now is arugably a top 5 first basemen in the league
What an awesome, uplifting story. Made my day…
Fun fact: The 1962 Cubs were the only team in the NL not to have a winning record against the expansion New York Mets. The teams finished the season series tied with 9 wins apeice
Re watching this hurts my heart....we were so close....
I honestly forgot it was Schwarber's knee, for some reason I thought he broke his leg all this time. Very reminiscent of Adrian Peterson's recovery in terms of just how quick it was
14:20 uhhhh kersh ya got a lil somethin in your glove buddy
as a cubs fan that game 7 still makes me tear up when I see highlights
Marcus Stroman had a very similar story in 2015. Tore his ACL at the start of the season and came back in September and pitched like a hall of famer
I absolutely love this vid
Dude that’s Cubs Team was so much fun to use on The Show 16
Being a die hard cards fan I’m borderline ashamed to not recognize how freaking good and how entertaining the 2015 and after cubs were
That Clayton joke had me weakkkk
I love this page !!!!!!!!
loved this video
Beautiful brother!!
2014-2018 are my favorite Cubs years.
2019 is still my favorite my favorite WS but 2016 will always be special

lol solid shade thrown on kershaw
Kyle Schwarber is just a man you WANT on your team. He has the attitude that is worth diamonds. How many players would be helping the front office and scouts while recovering from injury? That's next level dedication. The Philadelphia Phillies found that out the last 2 years as well. He knows what he is: A "3 outcomes" hitter. He hits for power, gets on base, and goes nuts in the post season. What more do ya want? Not everyone can be Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, or Mike Trout. Just know you've got a Joey Gallo or Adam Dunn type on the team, and use them!
You Earned a Sub! Thanks for the video. Have you heard of Geoff Jenkins?? We Played little league together and to see him finally earn a World Series Ring was amazing.
Thanks for watching! I hadn’t heard of Jenkins, but I always love the stories about players like him winning one last ring before retiring.
@@BaseballHistorian Thank you good sir for your reply. I do hope you at least check him out. Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful)
14:58 bruh thats cold LOL
Schwarber was my favourite 2016 Cub... true story
Kyle was may favorite Cub period.
I am a cubs fan, and most of my family went to IU, if not all of them. And my grandma's favorite player ever is Kyle Schwarber. Coincidence.
Kyle Schwarber is such a fantastic player! I'm glad we have him now 😁
Love this story Cubs made history that year best year in a longtime
This is one of the best stories in baseball history
Schwarber makes debut against Cleveland, then beats them in World Series. Also the NL Central was wack in 2015, 3rd place wins 97 games
i am from cincinnati so i support my reds. but i am so very happy that the cubs finally won a world series. being somewhat mediocre for so long can really start to whittle away your soul. we have the cincinnati bengals so i have an idea of how you might have felt. so kyle really did ,in a way, helped clinch the title for the cubs. if you ask me kyle's hit was just about as glorious as Kirk Gibson's walkoff home run for the dodgers in 1988
I was at the game in Arizona where he hurt himself. That was such a gruesome injury.
Feels so far away :( miss you
He’s leading the NL in homers and has a big new contract so things worked out pretty well for him
He’s a god damn American hero
No, Howie Kendrick is
@@HufflepuffBaseball42313 you know that Old El Paso commercial where that little girls says “why not both?”
Absolutely
Best video ever made that was ruined by bad research.
you see that clip of cole after the hr? he was definitely getting some more sticky stuff
This is such a crazy story I was the game he got hurt at and I was game 1 his first game back
