Cubs Respond to Pete Crow-Armstrong Controversy

A fan feels misled after trading in Pete Crow-Armstrong’s first career home run ball for what he believed to be the rookie’s game-used bat from the very same at-bat. Now, the Cubs have responded with their own version of the events.

The Cubs’ number one prospect was called up earlier this week following Cody Bellinger’s rib injury and on Thursday Crow-Armstrong started in center field against the Houston Astros. The left-handed batter hit a game-winning two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning at Wrigley Field.
