Kyle Schwarber on becoming a dad in March 2022: "Best day of my life"

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber embraced fatherhood in March 2022, just before the beginning of the 2022 MLB season. Kyle and his wife, Paige Hartman, welcomed a baby boy, Kade.

It was not an ordinary day for Schwarber because he signed a four-year, $79 million deal with the Philadelphia Phillies on the same day.

Kyle's wife, Paige, went into labor an hour after he signed the new contract. Thrilled to become a new father, Schwarber described March 16, 2022, as:

“Best day of my life.”

Coincidence, much?
