Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen made history in Sunday’s matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies in one of the coolest ways possible.
It was the top of the ninth inning, and McCutchen’s Pirates were winning 7-2 when he stepped up to bat. At this late in the game, there wasn’t likely going to be anything super noteworthy happening.
But the center fielder changed that when he nuked a ball over the left field fence for a two-run home run.
