Pete Crow-Armstrong, Chase Meidroth just challenged a Cubs-White Sox divide at Bears win

The rivalry between the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox has always an "us vs. them" feel to it, considering the Cubs are often viewed as the favorite in the city of Chicago. While there had been a time that it felt like the appeal of the Cross-town rivalry had been lost, it seemed to pick back up this summer with both teams angling toward the playoffs.

Still, there's animosity. For Cubs fans, it may have been a challenge to accept just how close the White Sox were to reaching the ALCS. For White Sox fans, it may have been a challenge to allow Cubs fans to enjoy the ride after the Sox were only team in the city to play in games during the month of October.

Perhaps, between the players, the same animosity that exists among the fanbase doesn't exist. It's been no secret that Pete Crow-Armstrong has become a common presence at Chicago Bears games at Soldier Field over the last two years, and as the Bears were defeating the New England Patriots last Thursday, the National League MVP favorite was spotted at the game with none other than White Sox second baseman Chase Meidroth.

Pete Crow-Armstrong and Chase Meidroth just challenged a Chicago baseball divide

Considering Meidroth asked Crow-Armstrong if he lives in Chicago, it's clear the two may not be the closest of friends. Beyond his work on the field with the Cubs, Crow-Armstrong has become embedded in the city itself. It also helps that Crow-Armstrong seemingly has developed a friendship with Bears' quarterback Caleb Williams and Bulls' forward Matas Buzelis.

Images from when the three have been spotted had drawn the ire of Sox fans, considering there never appears to be a Sox player involved in the gathering. Perhaps last Thursday night was the beginning of the group evolving to now include Meidroth.

As the two were taking picture, Crow-Armstrong suggested that fans were going to hate what was happening. It was especially cool to see Crow-Armstrong congratulate Meidroth for the success that he and the White Sox had this year.

Truth be told, this is likely taking fans behind the curtain. The disdain that Cubs fans and White Sox fans have for each other may not exist between the players. That's often a rule to live by in life. Most of the time, the people you think shouldn't like each other are actually hanging out behind the scenes. But that can be a story for a different time.
