Pete Crow-Armstrong Surging in NL MVP Race Amid Babe Ruth Controversy

Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is emerging as a legitimate NL MVP contender, recently going 2-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs in a 3-2 win over the Blue Jays. His rapid rise has sparked debate, particularly after he jokingly questioned the existence of Babe Ruth while chasing Shohei Ohtani's production. This theory has drawn sharp criticism from media figures like Chris Russo, adding a layer of controversy to his high-impact play on the field.
