In 2007, legendary Hall of Fame baseball player and broadcaster, Bob Uecker, stayed in a Pittsburgh hotel that was home to Anthrocon, the largest furry convention in the world. While broadcasting, the octogenarian sports legend said that "they call themselves furriers, I believe," and "the furrier society were checking themselves in just as the team arrived. A little strange, but....that's their thing."

As Anthrocon is historically held minutes from PNC Park where the Pittsburgh Pirates play, many baseball players have an association with furry. For example, former Major League MVP for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Andrew "Cutch" McCutchen (average: .419) always tweeted about furries when Anthrocon was in town for Pittsburgh home games. On a podcast hosted by the former quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cutch was asked point blank if he was a furry, and he said he "had no fursona." McCutchen's fascination with furries is so well known that there is a t-shirt design with Cutch in Pittsburgh with the word "FURRIES" on it.

I’m a Black trans man living in the conservative suburbs of Texas without a car or public transportation. I am in need of monetary help with transportation and groceries for the rest of the month as I put my efforts toward securing housing for myself and my cat out of state.

I’m asking $200 toward transportation (I use rideshare services) and $100 toward groceries. $300 total; everything helps tremendously. Thank you!
