While the world learned of the death of actress Hayden Panettiere on Sunday, Aug. 16, the news hit harder for Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong. She was his babysitter.
"Hayden Panettiere babysat me. I had the biggest crush on her," Crow-Armstrong said in 2022 interview with Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Chicago.
A Southern California native, Crow-Armstrong is the son of actress Ashley Crow, Panettiere's co-star in the NBC series "Heroes." His father, Matthew John Armstrong, starred in American Dreams, Turks, and American Horror Story.

These days, Crow-Armstrong is familiar to baseball fans for the MVP-caliber season he is putting together for the Chicago Cubs. On Monday, Aug. 17, he started and ended the Cubs' win over the Chicago White Sox with a home run, becoming the first player since 1957 to homer on the first and last pitch of the same game.
