I’m pretty sure Neal Huntington is my biggest fan or something. As if having four Mc’s on the team wasn’t ridiculous enough, he has gone out and acquired two more this offseason. Andrew McCutchen, Nate McLouth, Daniel McCutchen, Michael McKenry, James McDonald, and now Casey McGehee. Seriously, this is getting scary.

As I type I am being swarmed with ridiculous McPuns on Twitter. When I came up with this idea there was only McCutchen and McLouth, and since then the Pirates have gone absolutely crazy adding every McPlayer they could to the roster.

There are 17 players in Major League Baseball that have last names that start with the letters “M-C”. Six of those 17 players are now on the Pittsburgh Pirates. I should be on a PBS special or something.

Wow… the Pirates have more than 1/3 of the active Major Leaguers whose last names start with “Mc.” Go figure this guy with the Pirates blog about that very topic would be pretty psyched about the Casey McGehee trade.

Way more impressive than the Nationals having both active Major Leaguers whose last names start with “Zimmerman.”
