On December 20, 2023, MLB outfielder Andrew McCutchen announced his $5 million deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates for the 2024 season.
Rather than opting for a conventional social media post, the 37-year-old, along with his wife Maria, shared a humorous 'Wolf of Wall Street' style video on Instagram to break the news. Maria captioned her story with laughter smiley:
“Best video ever!!”
Andrew McCutchen shared a hilarious clip from the movie The Wolf of Wall Street. In the clip, Leonardo DiCaprio, who played Belfort, tells his employees that he is not stepping down from his position. In McCutchen's case, it means he's reunited with the Pittsburgh Pirates for another season.
