Pete Crow-Armstrong Trades Profanity With White Sox Fan in Cubs' 9-8 Loss

Pete Crow-Armstrong got into a profanity-laced shouting match with a female White Sox fan Sunday after failing to make a leaping catch at the wall during the Cubs' 9-8 loss.
Video showed the 24-year-old Cubs center fielder walking toward the outfield stands and yelling back after the fan, dressed in White Sox gear, repeatedly heckled him.
Crow-Armstrong told reporters, "Some lady decided to start talking s--t and I felt the need to say it back," signaling little regret over the exchange.
The flare-up adds to a growing pattern of controversy around Crow-Armstrong, who earlier this season criticized Dodgers fans for treating games as photo opportunities rather than baseball.
