Pete Crow-Armstrong<\/a> just gave Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> fans reason to make him public enemy No. 1 when the Chicago Cubs<\/a> visit Lala Land in April.<\/p>\n

In his second full season in the big leagues, the man nicknamed PCA took Chicago sports by storm. After an up-and-down 2024, the former New York Mets<\/a> prospect took a huge leap forward last season. Posting 31 homers, 95 runs batted-in, 91 runs, and 35 stolen bases. Furthermore, his slugging and OPS were up nearly .100 points from the previous season.<\/p>\n

The outfielder went from a prospect with a lot of upside that the organization was still developing to an early MVP candidate in 2025. The 23-year-old has become the new face of the franchise, and unsurprisingly, he has been the top focus of the Chicago media at spring training. With that comes a lot of interviews ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n

In a new conversation with Chicago Magazine<\/a>, PCA spoke about his love for Chicago and its sports fans. While doing that, he took an interesting shot at one of his home-state teams. The current big bad of MLB, the LA Dodgers.<\/p>\n

Pete Crow-Armstrong claims LA Dodgers fans are at games just to take pictures<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Chicago more and more,\u201d Crow-Armstrong said. \u201cIt\u2019s just an incredible city. The people are great. They give a shit. They aren\u2019t just baseball fans who go to the game like Dodgers fans to take pictures and whatever. They are paying attention. They care.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comment will further endear him to Cubs fans, and his honesty is part of his unique charm. However, baseball fans in LA will surely circle the three-game set when Chicago visits Chavez Ravine in late April.<\/p>\n

While the comments will sting, they aren\u2019t necessarily unfounded. While there are millions of devoted Los Angeles sports fans, the group has always had a reputation for showing up late to games and having a very casual approach to how they love their teams.<\/p>\n
