It’s that time of year again for Andrew McCutchen to hit the cover off the ball.

Why? The furries are in town!

Anthrocon is in Pittsburgh for its annual convention Thursday through Sunday.

Cutch continued his tradition on of tweeting “Furries” when he sees them in the area last summer when they came though.

As pointed out by “Foolish Bailey” on You Tube, McCutchen would be the best hitter in baseball history if the furries were around all the time.

McCutchen has played in 19 games in Pittsburgh while Anthrocon was in town and during that time has a .419 batting average with an on-base of .479 and slugging .742 along with three home runs since 2014.
