Good day for former Hoosiers catchers Schwarber, Phegley

If you were a former Indiana University catcher playing in professional baseball, Thursday was likely a good day for you.

Kyle Schwarber, the Chicago Cubs' first-round draft pick (fourth overtall) last year, made the team look good in his first at-bat, hitting a grand slam to right field off the San Francisco Giants' Ryan Vogelsong.

Oh, by the way, it came on his 22nd birthday.

"I was nervous the whole time out there; I don't know why," Schwarber said. "I guess it's a little different with the bases loaded and it being my first at-bat. I got the silent treatment a little bit but then they all came around for high-fives. It was cool."

Josh Phegley, who was drafted by the Chicago White Sox out of IU in 2009 but now plays for the Oakland Athletics, wasn't in the lineup Thursday, but he likely will remember this day even more. Why?

Technically speaking, his first child was born Wednesday.
