The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Brewers 8-7 in a walk-off victory on Friday, and Andrew McCutchen had another outstanding game. Going 3 for 5 with a home run, a double, and three RBIs, it was a good game for him. Despite this, McCutchen's lifetime statistics during this annual event didn't really change.

An MLB Analyst wrote:

"Andrew McCutchen on … furries. Yep, furries."

Fans of fictitious anthropomorphic animal characters in literature and art known as "furries" congregate every summer at the David L. Lawrence Convention Centre on the banks of the Allegheny River. The occasion not only brings together like-minded supporters for a four-day celebration in Pittsburgh's downtown, but it also brings McCutchen's most outstanding performance.

However, McCutchen's celebration of Anthrocon began much earlier than this weekend. The yearly furry convention in Pittsburgh is called Anthrocon. On July 5, 2014, before a Pirates-Phillies game, he only tweeted "Furries". He started his elite play after recognizing furries on social media with a two-run home run during that game.
