— Crimson Quarry (@crimsonquarry) October 13, 2015 On Wednesday, the Cubs verified that it was indeed Schwarber’s ball on the scoreboard, and announced that they will leave it there for the remainder of the 2015 postseason. The Chicago Tribune reports:
The source said the Cubs will decide what to do with the ball after the season, but wanted to leave it there for now as a memento of the Game 4 win. The Cubs will put a plexiglass case around it for now to preserve it from the elements.
