Already posted to “X”, but wanted to share here:

I’m so grateful that I had a front row seat for Cal Raleigh’s 2025 season. Breaking records, hitting HR #60 on AL West clinch night! But also visiting children’s hospitals on his rare off days. Treating everyone he met with respect and kindness. MVP!

All 3 Mariners that homered tonight have a first name that starts with “J”

Julio Rodríguez, Jorge Polanco & Josh Naylor.

🔱 Against the JAYS.
🔱 J is 10th letter in alphabet; M’s scored 10 runs.
🔱 Julio (and Polo): first Mariners with 3+ run HR in ALCS since JAY Buhner.

Cal Raleigh: first player in ALCS history to hit a home run and catch a 2-hitter or better (Miller, Speier, Brash, Muñoz) in the same game.

You can’t spell ALCS without CAL…

3️⃣ years ago today, Cal Raleigh’s walk-off HR sent the Mariners back to the playoffs.

9️⃣8️⃣ years ago today, Babe Ruth hit his 60th home run of 1927.

This season, Cal joined Ruth as the only players in MLB history to hit exactly 60 HR in a season.

3️⃣+9️⃣8️⃣ = 1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣

Raleigh & Ruth were born 101 years apart.

The Mariners 1st place clinches:

10/2/1995 was vs. the Angels
9/23/1997 was vs. the Angels
9/19/2001 was vs. the Angels

9/24/2025 was vs. the Rockies, but Cal Raleigh hit home run #60 off ANGEL Chivilli.

The Mariners won the AL West for the first time in 2️⃣4️⃣ years. Cal Raleigh became 1 of 4️⃣ in American League history to hit 6️⃣0️⃣ homers in a season.

2️⃣4️⃣ x (4️⃣+6️⃣0️⃣) = 1,536

The 2025 Mariners: sixth team in MLB history to have 3 G in which they hit 4+ home runs in shutout win.

The first team to do it? The 1961 Yankees, the team Cal Raleigh (56 HR) & Eugenio Suárez (47 combined HR) are trying to join as only teammate duo (Maris/Mantle) with 50+ HR. #TheMayerGWS

Harry Ford: first MLB player to record a walk-off plate appearance prior to his first career hit since Patrick Mazeika for the Mets on May 7, 2021.

Both Ford and Mazeika did it:
• In first career home PA
• As pinch hitters
• Catcher as their primary position

The Mariners became first team in AL history to have each of their Top-5 in batting order (Arozarena, Raleigh, Rodríguez, Suárez, Polanco) record 3+ RBI in same game.

First in MLB since Braves (Deion Sanders, Blauser, Klesko, McGriff, Pendleton) on April 15, 1994. #TheMayerGWS
