The Chicago Cubs made some significant moves this offseason, most notably signing Alex Bregman. But it’s Pete Crow-Armstrong who’s truly captured the hearts of Cubs fans.
With a solid season under his belt, Crow-Armstrong has quickly become a standout player. His .247 batting average and impressive 31 home runs were instrumental in propelling the Cubs into the playoffs, earning him recognition across the league.
However, Crow-Armstrong recently stirred the pot with a bold statement that has Dodgers fans up in arms. He compared Cubs fans to Dodgers fans, saying, “Cubs fans give a sh*t.
They aren’t just baseball fans who go to the game like Dodgers fans to take pictures. They are paying attention.”
While this comment has endeared him even more to the Wrigley faithful, it’s sparked quite a reaction in Los Angeles. Social media has been buzzing with responses from Dodgers fans who didn’t take kindly to the comparison. Some pointed out the Dodgers' impressive attendance records, while others dismissed his comments as irrelevant.
One fan humorously noted, “Dodger fans know enough to laugh at him when a ball is 50 feet over his head as it goes over the wall and he jumps for it.” Another highlighted the Dodgers' decade-long attendance dominance, saying, “Sure Pete, that must be why the Dodgers have led the league in attendance for over a decade and just had 4 million people in attendance last season.”
The back-and-forth has added an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming games between these two storied franchises. Crow-Armstrong’s remarks will likely be remembered when he steps onto the field at Dodger Stadium, setting the stage for an exciting showdown.
