Andrew McCutchen continues to make history in the star’s second stint with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
McCutchen passed Roberto Clemente for the third-most home runs all-time in franchise history earlier this season. The leader? Hall of Fame outfielder/first baseman Willie Stargell.
While McCutchen (327 home runs) will never catch Stargell in home runs (475), he’s passed “Pops” in another significant statistical category.
On Monday against the Detroit Tigers, McCutchen earned his 2,233rd hit to surpass Stargell for 180th all-time in MLB history.
McCutchen tied Stargell with a double on Sunday facing the Chicago White Sox.
