Pete Crow-Armstrong joins 40-40 club when he swipes base for Cubs in 1st inning vs. Marlins

Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs made history on Thursday by joining the exclusive 40-40 club. The star player swiped his 40th base of the season during the first inning of a game against the Miami Marlins. This achievement makes Crow-Armstrong the seventh player to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in a single season. Only a select few have accomplished this feat, including Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Atlanta Braves.

Jose Canseco first achieved this milestone in 1988 while playing for the Oakland Athletics. Crow-Armstrong's 45th home run this season pushed him past his career high, and the 24-year-old drew a leadoff walk from Tyler Phillips in the opening frame. His impressive steal was met with enthusiastic chants of "MVP" from fans, who witnessed the proclamation of his remarkable accomplishment on the Wrigley Field videoboard.
