In July of 2024, Pittsburgh Pirates fans Jordan and Eevanna Lundquist welcomed their third child, a baby boy.
His name? Cutch, in honor of Pirates player Andrew “Cutch” McCutchen.
The following month, Cutch-the-ballplayer and Cutch-the-baby met at PNC Park, on the day of a home game against the Cincinnati Reds.
In a video recorded just before the meeting, McCutchen said: “I’ve never known another human being [named] Cutch, besides myself.”
