Pirates infielder Drew Maggi is one of the most heartwarming stories baseball stories in recent memory, as he spent 13 years in the minor leagues before finally getting his first taste of big-league action earlier in April.
On Saturday, the 33-year-old made a pinch-hit appearance for Pittsburgh during the second game of their doubleheader against the Nationals in Washington.
During the seventh inning, Maggi recorded his first MLB hit, an RBI single to center field. It was an amazing moment for the third baseman, who had waited well over a decade to even have the opportunity to play in the majors.
