Kyle Schwarber is quickly putting together a legendary World Series story.

After missing most of the regular season with a torn ACL, Schwarber returned to the Chicago Cubs lineup for the World Series and hasn't shown any signs of rust, notching three hits, two RBI and two walks in nine at-bats.

And let's not forget, Schwarber is still just 23 years old, which means he's only a few years removed from high school.

So after video surfaced of Schwarber's ridiculous high school choir performance from 2010, the Cubs made sure to have some fun with it.

A handful of Cubs players donned gaudy purple-and-pink getups and imitated Schwarber's dance moves in a hilarious video from the Cubs official Twitter account.

Schwarber was a good sport about it. He joins the video at the end to reenact the show from his choir group, the "Purple Pizzazz."

Clearly, Schwarber is a man of many talents, but it's probably best he sticks to hitting baseballs. He's much better at that.
