WALTHAM, MA — Waltham police officers and firefighters enjoyed a treat for dinner Friday night courtesy of the Watch City's newest adopted son. Red Sox first baseman Kyle Schwarber — who wore a Waltham Hawks T-shirt in his postgame press conference following a Game 3 American League Championship Series victory Monday night — had more than two dozen pizzas sent to Waltham police and fire stations late Friday afternoon. @Jared_Carrabis any idea who this "Kyle from Waltham" guy is ordering all this pizza for @WalthamMAPolice and @WalthamFireDept ? …Trying to figure it out… #Soxin7 #kylefromwaltham pic.twitter.com/drFL4sBIzI— Shoppers Cafe (@ShoppersCafe) October 22, 2021 And while Schwarber's story with the Red Sox did not exactly have a happy ending with a season-ending, 5-0 loss to the Houston Astros later that night, the story of "Kyle from Waltham" continued to evolve with Waltham firefighters saying they decided to "pay it forward" and have pizzas sent to the fire department of Middletown, Ohio — Schwarber's actual hometown. We have paid it forward and sent Pizzas to Middletown Firefighters Local 336 in Ohio to their Headquarters, Station 82, and Station 85. Middletown, Ohio is Kyle Schwarber's real hometown. @kschwarb12 @ShoppersCafe @Joey_LaCava @IAFFNewsDesk @THE_PFFM #kylefromwaltham#RedSox— Waltham Firefighters (@walthamfire866) October 22, 2021 On Tuesday, Schwarber responded on Twitter to a video message from members of the Waltham Boys & Girls Club telling him that his "hometown" was proud of him and wishing him luck in the rest of the ALCS. 😂 thanks guys! Going to need your continued support! Keep up all the great work guys! https://t.co/wU3xji26pQ— Kyle Schwarber (@kschwarb12) October 19, 2021 Waltham Ward 5 City Councilor Joey LaCava — a Waltham High alumnus — also drafted a City Council resolution making Schwarber an honorary citizen of the city. The City Councilor of Waltham has made Kyle Schwarber an honorary citizen of Waltham. We did it. pic.twitter.com/dFmKYw4W6N— Jared Carrabis (@Jared_Carrabis) October 20, 2021 More Patch Coverage: Red Sox's Kyle Schwarber Sports Waltham Hawks Shirt After Game
