Pete Crow-Armstrong's Comments Stir Up Dodgers Fans
The Los Angeles Dodgers faithful are buzzing after Chicago Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong made some eyebrow-raising remarks about them. The young outfielder, who grew up in Sherman Oaks and attended Harvard-Westlake School, didn't hold back when comparing fans from his hometown to those in Chicago.
Crow-Armstrong, affectionately known as PCA, seems to have a special place in his heart for Chicago, and his comments reflect that. "I love Chicago more and more.
The people are great. They give a sh*t," he said, contrasting this with his perception of Dodgers fans as more interested in snapping pictures than following the game.
The Chicago Connection
PCA's Southern California upbringing might make his comments surprising at first glance, but there's more to the story. Despite his LA roots, Crow-Armstrong was raised in a Cubs-supporting household. His father, originally from Illinois, made it clear that rooting for the Dodgers or the Cardinals was off-limits.
In an article for The Players’ Tribune, PCA shared, "Growing up in L.A., my dad gave me a couple of rules. 1) I couldn’t root for the Dodgers.
- I couldn’t root for the Cardinals." His father, hailing from Naperville near Chicago, may not have forced Cubs fandom on him, but it was certainly encouraged.
Dodgers Fans Ready to Respond
The Dodgers' faithful won't have to wait long to respond to PCA's comments. The Cubs are scheduled to visit Dodger Stadium from April 24-26, and fans are eager to show just how passionate they are.
Doug McKain from Dodgers Nation anticipates a lively atmosphere, suggesting that fans will be ready to prove they "give a sh*t." It's shaping up to be an exciting series, with the added drama of Crow-Armstrong's remarks adding fuel to the rivalry.
As the date approaches, all eyes will be on Dodger Stadium to see how this storyline unfolds. Will PCA's comments fire up the Dodgers fans, or will the Cubs outfielder thrive under the spotlight? One thing's for sure: baseball fans are in for a treat.
