PCA belts 40th homer, joining list of Cubs greats. Is 40-40 next?

Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs hit his 40th home run of the season on September 6th, 2026, during a 10-3 loss to the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park. The blast, a 403-foot shot off Marlins starter Tyler Phillips, makes Crow-Armstrong the 10th Cubs player ever to reach 40 homers in a season, and the first left-handed batter to do so since Hall of Famer Billy Williams hit 42 in 1970. He is also the first Cub with a 40-plus home run season since Derrek Lee hit 46 in 2005, with speculation now growing about whether Crow-Armstrong can achieve a 40-40 season.
