Cubs BCB After Dark: Will Crow-Armstrong win the HR crown?
The late-night, early-morning spot for Cubs fans asks if Pete Crow-Armstrong will add a HR title to his accolades.
The Chicago Cubs continued their Friday night festivities at Wrigley Field, drawing fans who love baseball, music, and movies. Among the night's highlights, Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs hit a solo home run in the seventh inning against the Atlanta Braves, securing the Cubs' victory. As the crowd celebrated the win, the evening's musical act featured John Coltrane and Duke Ellington, playing a rendition of "In A Sentimental Mood."
The performance showcased Coltrane's softer and more subtle side, despite his reputation for big, brash saxophone playing. Joined by Aaron Bell on bass and Elvin Jones on drums, the trio delivered an impressive set. Later, the film Santa Fe Trail (1940) was screened, which, despite its title, was actually a Civil War movie rather than a Western.
The film starred Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Ronald Reagan, and Raymond Massey, and featured a plot centered around Confederate general Jeb Stuart and abolitionist John Brown. Despite some historical inaccuracies and racist portrayals, Massey's performance as John Brown stood out as the film's most interesting character.
