Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has already made historical past this season.
Raleigh turned the primary catcher to hit 50 house runs on Aug. 25 when he linked on a JP Sears fastball within the second inning towards the San Diego Padres. He has continued to hammer the ball since, getting nearer to New York Yankees legend Mickey Mantle for probably the most house runs in a season for a change hitter and Mariners star Ken Griffey Jr. for the group report.
He carved his identify into each historical past books on Tuesday. Raleigh, batting from the left facet, crushed a Michael Wacha curveball within the third inning, hitting a 419-foot homer to proper discipline to interrupt Mantle’s report.
