Drew Maggi, who played 1,155 games across 13 minor league seasons before being called up by the Pirates, made his major league debut on Wednesday night as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. Despite striking out in his lone at-bat, Maggi received a standing ovation from teammates and fans alike. The 33-year-old infielder expressed his gratitude for the moment and the support he received from his family, who were in attendance. Maggi’s long-awaited debut made all the years of chasing his dream worth it, and he said he has no regrets about spending over a decade in the minors.
