The New York Mets took Pete Crow-Armstrong in the first round of the 2020 MLB Draft for his stellar defensive play and strong baseball IQ. His mother Ashley must’ve passed along that IQ, as she has some prior experience raising a child for the limelight of Major League Baseball.
Ashley Crow, better known as Jenny Heywood in the 1994 baseball film “Little Big League,” raised her fictitious son Billy to eventually become the manager of the Minnesota Twins after the 12-year-old inherits the team from his grandfather.
In real life, Crow’s son Pete is ready for more of an up-close and personal relationship with baseball.
