Kyle Schwarber

Kyle Schwarber hit 5 home runs last week, and while doing that, he set a couple of records.

On Tuesday, September 3, Schwarber hit 3 home runs in one game. This was his second three-homer game this season. He is the first Philly ever to have multiple three-home-run games.

The next day, Schwarber hit his 13th lead-off home of the season--tying the record for the most lead-off home runs in a single season.

Schwarber put up some excellent numbers beyond the 5 home runs. He ended the week with a .462 batting average, a massive 1.654 OPS, 9 runs, and 11 RBI.

Cogratulations, Kyle Schwarber! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week.

Anyone paying attention to baseball the past couple of weeks could have seen this one coming a mile away. To say Kyle Schwarber has been on a hot streak at the plate would be an understatement. He has been on fire.

Schwarber hit 9 home runs in just 6 games from June 19-25.

Last week, June 21-27, Schwarber had an insane .400 average with a 1.704 OPS. He hit 7 home runs--for comparison, my entire fantasy team had 10 home runs in the same week--scored 8 runs and had 12 RBIs.

A nice by-product of all this is that there are lots a great pictures of Schwarber rounding the bases.

Congratulations, Kyle Schwarber! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week!

Take a curtain call. You deserve it!

The All-Star Game Break

I'm never quiet sure what to do about the All-Star Game here at MLBoyfriend. This year, I'm just going to hit you with a few odds and ends from the week.

The Home Run Derby
I got to watch the Home Run Derby. I was glad because it actually had an exciting final show down between Kyle Schwarber and Jordan Walker.

Congratulations, to Jordan Walker! As much as I love Kyle Schwarber, Walker was amazing in his last at-bat, and it's always fun to see the underdog win.

The Pre-Game Red Carpet

This year's Red Carpet looks were pretty boring compared to previous years. As was pointed out in the extensive coverage on Go Fug Yourself, a lot of the outfits were "giving Fraternity Formal". Still, there were a few interesting entries. Here are my five favorite in alphabetical order. (Apparently, players with last names that start with "A" are the most stylish.)

CJ Abrams

Ozzie Albies

Randy Arozarena

Byron Buxton & His Adorable Family

Yoshinobu Yamamoto

The Big Game

I did not get to watch the All-Star Game this year. However, I think that's okay, because it doesn't look like it was very exciting. I was glad to see Cody Bellinger won the ASG MVP Award (even if it was just for "a lousy single") for several reasons. First, Bellinger and his family showed up on the Red Carpet looking very cute.

The family adorableness continued Bellinger's daughters joined him on the field after the game...

Since it's baseball, Bellinger's ASG MVP Award has to represent some sort of milestone or record. Here's what it is: Cody Bellinger is the first player in MLB history to win the Rookie of the Year, League Championship Series MVP, League MVP, a World Series ring, and All-Star Game MVP.

Finally, Cody Bellinger is dreamy. The one time he was named MLBoyfriend, I posted an excessive number of pictures of him. I'll restrain myself this week with just one more.

Elsewhere in the baseball world...

I think more posts about the Portland Pickle's "Heated Riv-Dill-ry" promotion showed up in my feed than All-Star Game posts.

Gunnar Henderson

As I was looking over the list of the best players last week, Gunnar Henderson's name caught my eye. I went to see how long it's been since he was named my MLBoyfriend, and was shocked to discover he never has never been. Although he's only been in the majors for 4 years, he has definitely made a big name for himself.

I'm sure there have been many weeks when Henderson has been in the running. I looked up the times he has won the American League Player of the Week award to see who took the award that week. On June 12, 2023, he lost to Corbin Carroll--interestingly, both of them would go on to win the Rookie of the Year award in their respective leagues that year. Henderson lost the MLBoyfriend title to the National League Player of the Week, Kyle Schwarber, on September 9, 2024.

Henderson was very impressive last week. He had a .286 batting average, 1.196 OPS with 1 double, 1 triple and 4 home runs. He scored 7 runs and batted in 7. He also stole base twice. I couldn't deny him the MLBoyfriend award any longer.
