Pete Crow-Armstrong is taking aim at Los Angeles Dodgers fans.

The Chicago Cubs' star outfielder believes his team's supporters are more passionate and knowledgeable than Dodgers fans.

"I love Chicago more and more," Crow-Armstrong told Wayne Drehs of Chicago Magazine. "It's just an incredible city. The people are great. They give a shit. They aren't just baseball fans who go to the game like Dodgers fans to take pictures and whatever. They are paying attention. They care."

Crow-Armstrong, who was born and grew up in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles, also acknowledged his big personality on the field tends to annoy opponents.

"I'm sure I come off like a douche sometimes," the 23-year-old said. "That's how I present my fun to people, I guess. I'm not loud anywhere else. I'm not riled up anywhere else. That's where I get to do that stuff. So, hell yeah, I rub people the wrong way."

The two-time defending World Series champion Dodgers led MLB in attendance in 2025 with over 4 million fans during the regular season. The Cubs finished sixth with over 3 million spectators.

Crow-Armstrong and the Cubs visit Los Angeles for a three-game series April 24-26.
