SEATTLE -- Cal Raleigh hit his 50th homer Monday night, extending his major league record for home runs by a catcher and entering some elite company.
Raleigh joined Mickey Mantle as the only switch-hitters to hit 50 homers in a season, and he became the eighth player in major league history to reach the half-century mark in August.
He's the first player to at least hit 20 homers from each side of the plate in a season, according to ESPN Research.
"HISTORY MARCHES ON!"
