Tale of Two Cubs

Two Cubs have put some amazing steaks together that out them in elite company.

Pete Crow-Armstrong put together one of the greatest offensive months in baseball history.

In June 2026, Crow-Armstrong hit:

  • .381 batting average
  • .781 slugging percentage
  • 82 total bases
  • 17 walks
  • 11 home runs
  • 8 stolen bases

He became only the third player in MLB history to have a single month with at least:

  • .375 batting average
  • .775 slugging percentage
  • 80 total bases
  • 15 walks
  • 10 home runs
  • 5 stolen bases

The only others to do it are:

  • Babe Ruth (three times: June 1920, July 1920, and May 1930)
  • Lou Gehrig (June 1930)  

Time to fill in the blank on another Cub player’s historic achievement.

___________ is the first player since Joe DiMaggio in 1939 to record 26+ RBIs in a 10-game span.

  • Alex Bregman
  • Nico Horner
  • Ian Happ
  • Michael Bush
  • Dansby Swanson

Answer: Dansby Swanson

Here’s the great Sarah Langs who compiled this impressive list…

Swanson also set a new Cubs franchise record for RBI in a 10-game stretch, breaking the mark held by Sammy Sosa who had 24 in 2002.
