Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong joined Major League Baseball's exclusive 40-40 club on Thursday during the first inning of a game against the Miami Marlins. After drawing a walk to start the bottom of the first inning during a Thursday matinee, Crow-Armstrong successfully stole his 40th base of the season to reach the milestone of at least 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases.
With this achievement, Crow-Armstrong becomes the seventh player in MLB history to accomplish the 40-40 feat and the first player in the history of the Chicago Cubs franchise to do so. Source coverage notes that the milestone is part of one of the best individual seasons in Cubs history, and describes him as a favorite to win the National League MVP award at the end of the season.
