Cubs All-Star outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong spoke to the media following his night in the MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta, Georgia taking in the moment before stepping out onto the field for the All-Star Game, sharing a funny story while mic'd up during the All-Star game and much more.
Watch the interview below: Video summary/cliff notes: (00:00) Pete describes how he got distracted by the excitement before taking the field—so much noise and cool stuff going on! He was soaking it all in like a tourist at Disneyland 🏟️✨. 🔹 (00:25) He was pumped to finally get a hit off Carlos Rodón, especially since Rodón dominated them in a recent series. His reaction? Basically: "FINALLY!" 😤🙌 🔹 (01:00) Once in the batter’s box, it felt like normal baseball again—just with fancier jerseys. He joked that good All-Star stats should count in the regular season (but not the bad ones, of course 😅). 🔹 (01:36) He got a big reception after the inning, with lots of high-fives from teammates—because duh, high-fives are awesome 👋😎. 🔹 (02:01) His return to left field was nostalgic and slightly disorienting. He even joked about awkwardly going for a ball with Kyle Tucker, saying he couldn't hear anything with the mic gear in 🧏♂️⚾. 🔹 (03:20) Pete was surprised by the camaraderie at the All-Star Game—everyone from veterans like Kershaw to rookies like Goodman showed major respect. 🫱🏼🫲🏽💯 🔹 (03:46) He gave major props to Shohei Ohtani, calling him “top two in the league” and praising his joy, humility, and hilarious dugout antics. Basically: Baseball Superman meets stand-up comic 🦸♂️🤣. 🔹 (04:34) Postgame plans? Simple and relatable: golf, sleep, and hydration. Oh, and he accidentally brought his regular-season bat instead of the All-Star model—but hey, it worked!
