Cubs Star Swanson Makes Heartfelt Statement
After the game, Swanson spoke to Elise Menaker of Marquee Sports Network.
Menaker: “Can you tell me you’re feeling better without telling me you’re feeling better? An insurance run with one swing there in the ninth. What has it been like since you’ve come back?”
Swanson: “I said this is a little bit of uncharted territory for me. I’m just extremely blessed to be able to be out here. I’m just so thankful for all the support that this team has given me to be able to get back on the field. And just grateful for the guys for holding it down while I was gone. And it’s good to be able to win tonight.”
