Andrew McCutchen on what it meant to him to get an ovation from the Pirates fans after hitting his 241st home run as a Pirate to surpass Roberto Clemente for third on the franchise's all-time list.
"They threw it up on the board for me. So definitely had to go out there and be recognized for that and just tell everybody thanks for being there and being able to be in that moment with me. It’s great to have had that opportunity to be able to do it here. For the fan who was able to return the ball to me and for him to do what he did was icing on the cake too. I was just happy to have that opportunity here at home."
