After spending 13 years in the minor leagues, 33-year-old infielder Drew Maggi finally made his Major League Baseball debut Wednesday night for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Per ESPN, Maggi said the following regarding his long-awaited opportunity at the MLB level in an on-field interview after the game:
"I really can't [put it into words]. I can't explain how I was feeling in the (batter's) box. I didn't even know what to do. You guys were cheering me on. I don't know, I never expected that. Through the journey, I thought I'd make my debut and it would be a normal at bat.
