Cardinals fan's pathetic attempt to show up Cubs, Pete Crow-Armstrong needs more attention

It's been quite the month for Pete Crow-Armstrong, but the young Chicago Cubs center fielder appears to be ending it on a high note. Over the past two weeks, there have been signs that Crow-Armstrong was due for an offensive breakout, and that happened on Saturday night.

Crow-Armstrong was the star of the Cubs' 6-1 victory over the Cardinals. The 24-year-old collected four hits on the night, including a double and home run. It was the home run in particular that solidified when Crow-Armstrong is right, he's one of the biggest irritants for opposing fanbases.

With the Cardinals playing above .500 baseball for the first two months of the season, this weekend being the first time that the Cubs played St. Louis this year, Cardinals fans were certainly going to let Crow-Armstrong hear it. Yet, on Saturday night, it was Crow-Armstrong who got the last laugh.

Crow-Armstrong got all of his home run in the eighth inning, with the ball landing in the popular "tarps off" section of Busch Stadium. The same section that has had the loudest taunts of Crow-Armstrong throughout the weekend. It's what made Crow-Armstrong's home run electric.

Best fans in baseball...cough, cough

What makes Crow-Armstrong's home run so great is that it wasn't even the home run that was the best part. As Crow-Armstrong is rounding the bases, he's seen mocking the "tarps off" wave, and the section is clearly having a debate of what to do with the ball.

Any true ball knower knows that you bring a ball from home, and that is the one you throw back on the field if you catch an opposing team's home run. Cardinals fans shouldn't be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to thinking ahead, and that was likely confirmed with what wound up happening.

The Cardinals fan who caught ball ultimately decided to throw it back, but the problem is that it didn't reach the field. Replay of the throw from fan clearly shows the ball falling short of reaching the field, hitting the other side of the outfield wall.

If nothing else, Saturday's efforts from Crow-Armstrong was a flashback to the superstar it appeared he was becoming during the first two months of the 2025 season. It's that success that opposing fanbases, like the Cardinals, hate to see. And, if we're being honest, we love every second of it.
