No Worries, Cutch, 'Batman' Has Your Back

Michael Keaton used trash talk, and Andrew McCutchen used his bat to put a heckler in his place.
Richard Cook,

 

When it comes to the Pittsburgh Pirates, Robinson Township's Michael Keaton is a hardcore fan. 

Keaton was sitting near the Pirates dugout for Friday night's game between the Bucs and Braves at Turner Field. Keaton was having quite a good night, posting a video of the autographed baseball he received from Pirates right-hander A.J. Burnett. 
 

But as the game wore on, Keaton apparently tired of a nearby fan who'd be heckling Andrew McCutchen all night. Keaton decided it was time for some trash talk. It appeared more heated than it probably was, but, hey, the dude IS an actor. 
 

 

 

​Cutch, however, had the last word, smacking an RBI double in the eighth inning and then acknowledging the loud-mouthed fan.
 

McCuthen, proving again that he is a class act, tossed the fan his batting gloves at the end of the inning. 
 

And yes the Pirates won, 10-8.
