Kyle Schwarber's Moonshot HR Apparently Came To Rest On Top Of RF Videoboard

(CBS) Cubs rookie slugger Kyle Schwarber sent Wrigley Field into pandemonium Tuesday evening when he hit a massive home run to right field in the seventh inning that gave Chicago a 6-4 lead. That score would hold, as the Cubs beat the Cardinals in Game 4 of the NLDS to advance to the NLCS for the first time since 2003.

Schwarber's homer went so far into the stratosphere that it was hard to tell where it was and where it landed. Upon further investigation, it did clear the right-field video board -- and that's also where it came to rest, right on top of it, according to a tweet from a fan nearby.

"They spotted it on a boat in Lake Michigan," Cubs veteran catcher David Ross said in a postgame TV interview.

Check out the homer below.
