Raleigh big night puts him one homer away from a record set by Barry Bonds — and ties him with a record set by Mickey Mantle.

Cal Raleigh hit his 37th and 38th home runs to move within one of Barry Bonds’ 2001 record for homers before the All-Star break, and the Seattle Mariners beat Detroit 12-3 on Friday night to end Tarik Skubal’s three-month unbeaten streak.

Cal Raleigh and Aaron Judge are putting on a show similar to what Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa did in 1998. But this chase is better because the 'clean' home run record is at stake.

Even New York Yankees broadcasters are taking notice of Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh. The post Baseball fans, gay and straight, unite in swooning over ‘Big Dumper’ appeared first on Outsports.

Schlittler used his 100 mph fastball to shut down Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners during an eye-opening debut Wednesday night, pitching the Yankees to a 9-6 victory before a throng of friends and family members in the crowd.
