Pete Crow-Armstrong is making headlines with his candid comments that might ruffle a few feathers, especially among Los Angeles Dodgers fans. The Chicago Cubs outfielder recently expressed his deep appreciation for Cubs fans, contrasting them with their counterparts in LA.
In a conversation with Chicago Magazine's Wayne Drehs, Crow-Armstrong didn't hold back: "I love Chicago more and more. The people are great.
They give a sh-t," he said. "They aren't just baseball fans who go to the games like Dodgers fans to take pictures and whatever.
They're paying attention. They care."
These remarks are particularly striking given that the Dodgers have been on a tear, winning back-to-back World Series titles. Adding a personal twist, Crow-Armstrong hails from Sherman Oaks, California, which might make his comments hit even closer to home.
Focused on the World Series Dream
Crow-Armstrong's passion for the game is clear, especially when it comes to his drive to win a World Series. In an era where some teams seem content with mediocrity, PCA's mindset is all about competition.
"I saw what bringing playoff baseball back to the city meant," he shared with Drehs. "That’s an easy, immovable goal.
The f-ck are you playing for if you’re not trying to play in the playoffs and win the World Series? There’s more to life than baseball, but maybe not for me right now.
This s-it is my life."
To bolster their championship aspirations, the Cubs have brought in some seasoned talent. Veteran third baseman and two-time World Series champion Alex Bregman has joined the roster on a five-year, $175 million deal, adding experience and skill to the mix.
Crow-Armstrong's fiery dedication and the Cubs' strategic moves signal a team that's serious about making waves in the upcoming season. With PCA's heart set on victory, Chicago fans have plenty to be excited about.
