The Fort McKenry: Triumphs, Drama, and the Magic of Baseball

Hold My Cutter

Michael McKenry recounts his exhilarating first home run at PNC Park on July 8, 2011, against Carlos Marmol. Experience the tension of his 10-pitch showdown, the strategies employed, and the euphoric crowd reaction that followed. We also share heartfelt stories that highlight the camaraderie among the Pittsburgh Pirates and their devoted fans, including touching memories of Jay Hay and Andrew McCutcheon.
Our journey into Pirates history continues with emotional tales, such as Rock's unexpected game-winning home run during the final game at Three Rivers Stadium. Michael shares his firsthand experiences from the epic 19-inning game against the Braves in 2011, including his second career home run and the challenges of catching for Jeff Karstens. These stories paint a vivid picture of the high stakes and emotional highs that define baseball.
We also dive into the controversial moments that have shaped the team, from disputed calls to the role of replay technology. Hear about Pedro Alvarez's throw leading to a disputed call by umpire Jerry Mills, and the lessons learned from such pivotal moments. As the episode wraps up, we reflect on the unpredictable nature of baseball, embracing the human elements that make the sport so special, and bid a heartfelt farewell to the Pirates community. Join us for a trip down memory lane, full of laughter, tears, and the timeless magic of baseball.
