Watch: Pete Crow-Armstrong Hits 40th Home Run of Season, Strengthens MVP Case

It’s been a while since a Chicago Cub has hit 40 home runs. Derrek Lee last did it back in 2005 – 21 years ago.

In one swing, Pete Crow-Armstrong joins some elite company.

The great Ernie Banks is the only other player to hit 40+ home runs at age 24 or younger as a Cub. Let that settle for a moment.

Cubs and Marlins are now tied 3-3 in the 5th.
