Chicago – The atmosphere of American sports and politics is shaken by an emotional announcement. A few days after Charlie Kirk – right-wing political activist, author and CEO of Turning Point USA – suddenly passed away at the age of 31, young star of Chicago Cubs, Pete Crow-Armstrong, made a decision that made millions of hearts stop:
In the upcoming game, he will wear a glove with the name “Charlie” embroidered on the wrist, in memory of this special fan.
“I never met him in person, but I know he was a big Cubs fan. The name ‘Charlie’ on my glove will remind me that every time I play, I am not just for myself, but for everyone who believes in this team. This is my way of honoring him, and his family,” Crow-Armstrong emotionally shared with the media.
The information immediately spread on social media. Photos of the glove embroidered with “Charlie” – never used – were released by the Cubs and quickly went viral. Many fans called it a “sacred promise made of leather and thread.”
One fan wrote on X (Twitter): “Charlie Kirk may be gone, but when PCA (Crow-Armstrong) takes to the field, his memory and love for the Cubs will live on.”
Kirk’s family, who regularly follow the Cubs and have been to Wrigley Field, said they were stunned by the news: “We can’t believe it. This is a huge comfort in a very difficult time.”
Charlie Kirk, in addition to his controversial and influential political career, is known for his passion for baseball. He once said: “Baseball teaches you how to bounce back from defeat – just like life and politics.”
Now, Pete Crow-Armstrong is preparing to make the upcoming match a memorable one – one where a young star steps out on the pitch not just with gloves, but with an emotional tribute.
And when the lights come down, millions of eyes will be on a small but significant detail: the name “Charlie” on the glove.
