Giants’ McCutchen helps stir excitement as season beckons

Andrew McCutchen didn’t take long to win over Giants fans.

At Saturday’s FanFest at AT&T Park, a fan asked a panel of Giants where they get most fired up to play on the road, and McCutchen didn’t think twice.

“Somebody I want to stick it to every time I get fired up … is the Dodgers,” said McCutchen, prompting a roar from several hundred fans who broke into a “beat L.A.” chant.

It was the first sign that McCutchen will wear his 22 jersey well, a number that was worn by celebrated Giants Will Clark and Jack Clark, both of whom have tales to tell about Giants-Dodgers lore.
