Timing….its everything.
Wawa announced that they are bringing back “Hoagiefest” but rebranding it as “Schwarberfest.” This, after fans noticed that Kyle Schwarber went OFF during the summer staple hitting 15 home runs in 31 days. . Barstool Philly then put it out into the twitterverse and Wawa responded in kind. You can now grab a Shorti for $5 or a Classic for $6.
Wawa announced the decision to kick off “Schwarberfest” right before first pitch of game 1 of the NLCS. How did Schwarber respond? He started off working a walk. He then singled. And in his next at bat he hit a ball back to Philly
We applaud Wawa for taking one for the team, allowing Schwarber to ring the bell.
