"All fans fight and stuff, but I remember putting the Giants fan in a coma. That stuck with me as a kid. Just little things, sitting in the stands, nasty stuff goes on that I didn't always experience at other ballparks."
"I love Chicago more and more. It's just an incredible city. The people are great. They give a s-. They aren't just baseball fans who go to the game like Dodgers fans to take pictures or whatever. They are paying attention. They care."
"Growing up in L.A., my dad gave me a couple of rules. 1) I couldn't root for the Dodgers. 2) I couldn't root for the Cardinals."
Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs has faced backlash from Southern California for his criticism of Los Angeles Dodgers fans. Appearing on the Foul Territory show, he clarified that his issue is with the fans, not the players, specifically respecting Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Betts. Growing up in Sherman Oaks, Crow-Armstrong experienced aggressive fan behavior at Dodgers games, including witnessing violence. He contrasts this with Chicago fans, whom he praises for genuinely caring about baseball rather than attending games primarily for social media content. Despite growing up in Southern California, Crow-Armstrong has always been a Cubs fan due to his father's rules prohibiting support for the Dodgers or Cardinals.
