CINCINNATI -- Andrew McCutchen had a special moment Tuesday night in his final at-bat of the 86th Major League Baseball All-Star Game, launching a sixth-inning home run off the second-deck facade above Great American Ball Park's left field.

How special?

He became the first representative of the Pirates since Dave Parker in 1981 to go deep, and the three before that were Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell and Ralph Kiner.

Sharing a field with legends such as Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax before this game wasn’t exactly bad company, either:
