Kyle Schwarber Defers Indiana Hall of Fame Induction Due to Phillies Schedule Conflict

Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber is deferring his induction into Indiana University’s Athletics Hall of Fame. The decision was made because a rule requires all living inductees to attend the ceremony, which conflicts with a Phillies game against the Miami Marlins on September 5th. The 32-year-old three-time All-Star and All-Star Game MVP, who ranks among MLB leaders with 37 home runs this season, was selected in his first year of eligibility.
