A bond that made each of them better.Some 1,700 miles away from Wrigley Field, Faulkner and his family are soaking up every moment of Schwarbers comeback from a major knee injury. The 10-year-old Faulkner -- If you ask him, hes two hands, his mother Carrie says -- stays up to watch his buddy in the World Series, and Schwarber proudly wears his Campbells Crew wristband while he tries to help the Chicago Cubs to their first championship since 1908.Hes a kid who can always put a smile on my face, Schwarber said.Faulkner has a rare mitochondrial disease. His body doesnt know how to use food and oxygen properly.Doctors knew something was wrong with Faulkner just days after he was born.

He got his first feeding tube in his stomach when he was 4, and a second tube at 7.On the outside he looks perfect, Carrie Faulkner told The Associated Press in a phone interview. On the inside, its just a train wreck, its a disaster in there.So when Carrie Faulkner heard about what Schwarber said after one of the biggest games of his life, she just lost it. Moments after Schwarber hit two RBI singles in Chicagos 5-1 victory over Cleveland in Game 2 on Wednesday night, he was asked about his green wristband, and the son of a retired Ohio police chief jumped on the question like a belt-high fastball.Yeah, Campbell Faulkner, hes a kid that I met down in Arizona. Hes got a rare genetic disease, and I met him my first spring training, Schwarber said. Really young, smart kid, and hes just always got a big smile on his face.Schwarber kept right on going.We stay in contact through email. Hes a smart kid, man, he said.

Oh my heavens what an amazing man to think of my son at that moment.For Campbell, it was no big deal. After all, theyre friends. It made me feel good, and I knew that he was thinking of me, he said.Faulkner and Schwarber met last year during spring training. Faulkner was a guest of an organization called Steves Dream, which provides tickets to Cubs spring training games to families.ddddddddddddThe Faulkners were tailgating when Schwarber stopped and signed a ball for Campbell, who returned the favor with the wristband that made Schwarber a member of Campbells Crew -- a support group for Faulkner with its own Facebook page and Twitter feed .Schwarber promised to wear the green band, and the connection only grew from there.

Then he sent an email to Schwarber pointing out he had a lot of doctors and offering to help the slugger get in touch with them.Campbell literally went into protective mode to take care of Kyle, Carrie Faulkner said.And thats when that one fleeting moment in the heat of spring training returned to Schwarber in a major way. As Schwarber embarked on the long, difficult process of rehabbing a major injury, he found inspiration in the example of his precocious friend in Arizona.It means a lot, Schwarber told the AP. I wasnt going through near as much time as what that kids going through his whole life right now. That just gives me that extra motivation going through this rehab that I still have to go through after the season.Schwarber made it back quicker than anyone expected, surprising everyone with the Cubs.
