Cubs players parody Kyle Schwarber's memorable show choir performance

It was last October that Kyle Schwarber announced his presence to the world with a string of impressive home runs that rewrote the history books.

If you recall, it was also during that run that we also discovered Schwarber’s talents aren’t just limited to crushing baseballs. He’s also a showman with an impressive array of dance moves who is capable of crushing it on stage.

That video of Schwarber’s performing for Middletown High School’s Purple Pizzazz show choir back in 2011 became a viral sensation. Now though, it’s been rebranded and re-released in parody form thanks to Schwarber’s Cubs’ teammates.

Behold, the Chicago Cubs Purple Pizzazz show choir, starring Addison Russell, Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, David Ross and, yes, even Kyle Schwarber.

He’s still got it!

Listen, we understand that Schwarber wasn’t cleared to play the outfield during the World Series. But if he can still pull off these dance moves with a bum knee then he can’t be too far away. In fact, these moves might qualify as some next-level agility drills. They’re that smooth.

Some have even called the dance the “Schwarber Shuffle.” That’s not to be confused with the “Super Bowl Shuffle,” which the 1985 Chicago Bears recorded weeks in advance of winning Super Bowl XX. Then again, if the Cubs manage to rally and win their first World Series championship since 1908, the “Schwarber Shuffle” may become Chicago’s latest and greatest sports craze.
