Veteran Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Andrew McCutchen made a bold claim after Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. But his take has not gone down well with MLB fans.
Andrew McCutchen passed franchise icon Roberto Clemente among the Pittsburgh Pirates’ all-time home run leaders in grand fashion, with a 405-foot, three-run blast that was the cause for celebration. And required a curtain call.
