Overview

• Over a July weekend in Wrigleyville, children set up a lemonade stand to raise funds for a bleached-blond, blue-star haircut inspired by Crow-Armstrong’s spring training look.
• Crow-Armstrong arrived unannounced, gave enough cash to cover the hairstyle, signed autographs on paper towels and posed for photos with the young fans.
• Cubs reporter Taylor McGregor posted video of the interaction on X, where it quickly drew widespread praise for the All-Star outfielder’s generosity.
• Fans celebrated the gesture as a heartwarming demonstration of his off-field character, with some calling him “a treasure” for the Cubs.
• The surprise visit underscores Crow-Armstrong’s growing influence among youth and mirrors his All-Star Game advice about staying true to oneself.
