I say Mariah t-shirts for everybody!

Behold Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cubs' centerfielder. This past week he's hit .299 with a .677 SLG. At 23, he's the youngest Cub since Anthony Rizzo 💙 to have 2 HR and 6 RBI in a single game. He loves Mariah Carey and doesn't care who knows it.

 

He's a delight to watch. Bold with his bat, a veritable cheetah on the base pads and willing to go for literally anything hit in his area code. 

PCA doesn't have Rizz' commitment to giving back, but perhaps it's unfair to expect anyone to equal Anthony Rizzo there. Since 2012, he's been responsible for at least $12 million to help families battling pediatric cancer. That doesn't count events for other causes. For example, I recall that here in Chicago, he catered lunches for health care workers administering the vaccine during covid. In New York, he has comped the entry fee for health care workers to run the NYC Marathon so they can raise funds for their hospitals. Helping others is a legit passion for Rizz.

But he does have Rizzo's joie de vivre. Watching Pete, I just know there is nothing he would rather be doing than playing baseball ... and simply being alive here in Chicago. It's going to be an exciting summer.
