In preparation for the Chicago Cubs' series against the Colorado Rockies, prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong has been added to the active roster. In the minor leagues, the 21-year-old is regarded as one of the top defenders. Although Crow-Armstrong is scheduled to make his Major League Baseball debut this week, his mother Ashley Crow has experience raising MLB players in the past.
Crow has some experience, at least on the big screen, having portrayed Jenny Heywood, Billy Heywood's mother, in the 1994 film Little Big League.
Little Big League has also been mentioned by Crow-Armstrong as his favorite movie in which his mother appeared.

Pete Crow-Armstrong's mom ecstatic and pleased with son
According to reports, the Chicago Cubs will call up top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong this week, which will be a special occasion for his mother Ashley Crow. Even though his mother Ashley doesn't yet have any children playing professionally, she may already be familiar with the demands of that position through her career as an actor.
A special full-circle moment right out of Hollywood will occur when Crow's son dons a Cubs uniform in a major league game 29 years from now. Crow is also well-known for her work on TV shows like "Supernatural," "Grey's Anatomy," and others, as well as movies like "Cake" and "Minority Report."
In 41 episodes of the television program "Heroes," she also had a recurring part. The episode also included Matthew John Armstrong, her husband and Pete's dad.
