Not enough people talk about Andrew McCutchen
• .275/.369/.465 (.834 OPS, 128 OPS+)
• 48.5 WAR, 2013 NL MVP, Gold Glover
• Four consecutive top-5 MVP finishes
• Hit 20+ HR 9x, stole 20+ bases 5x
• 5x ASG, 4x SS, 49th most games in CF
• Fan favorite everywhere he's played
• One of just 12 players in MLB history with at least 2000 hits, 1100 runs, 1000 walks, 1000 RBI, 300 homers, 400 doubles, and 200 stolen bases
The other 11 are Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Carlos Beltran, Gary Sheffield, and 7 HOF'ers.
(This is the first NEPTA post about an active player; I imagine this will be a rare occurrence, but on the occasion of Cutch's 300th career home run, it felt appropriate and warranted. Congratulations to Cutch on reaching this epic milestone!)
A moment he'll never forget.
Last night, Andrew McCutchen was honored at the Roberto Clemente Foundation Gala celebrating the 50th anniversary of Clemente being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
