**Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong Joins Elite Company with Historic 30/30/30 Season**
**CHICAGO -** Pete Crow-Armstrong, the Chicago Cubs’ young center fielder, etched his name into franchise history Friday, becoming the first player to achieve the rare feat of 30 home runs, 30 stolen bases, and 30 doubles in a single season. The milestone came during the Cubs’ dominant 12-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
The 23-year-old All-Star launched his 30th home run off Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas, a two-run shot that propelled the Cubs to an early lead. He now joins Sammy Sosa as the only Cubs to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in a season. He is also just the sixth player in Major League Baseball this year to reach the 30/30 mark.
Crow-Armstrong downplayed the individual achievement, emphasizing his growth as a player. “I think it just means that I’ve improved over the last few years,” he said. “I think that’s what I’m selfishly most proud of is, in my own development, is just seeing a bit of a progression each year that I’ve been playing pro ball.”
While Crow-Armstrong acknowledges a dip in offensive production in the second half of the season, his focus remains firmly on the upcoming playoffs. With his stolen base total at 35 and doubles count at 37, this 30/30/30 milestone is a testament to a historic season.
The Cubs’ win brings them closer to clinching the top National League wild card spot and home-field advantage, reducing their magic number to one over the San Diego Padres. The two teams are set to face off in the opening round starting next week.
“[Rather] than talk about other stuff honestly, I just want to win more ballgames,” Crow-Armstrong stated, eager to contribute to a deep playoff run. The fan that retrieved Crow-Armstrong’s homerun for him, as it was their first Cub game in 30 years!
