SEATTLE -- Cal Raleigh quite literally went all the way up on Wednesday night, crushing a pull-side home run from the left side and sending it sailing 438 feet and into the upper deck beyond right field at T-Mobile Park for No. 59 in his historic season.
It’s territory that only seven others had reached in the ballpark’s 26 seasons of existence, as Raleigh joined Luke Raley (2024), Shohei Ohtani (2021), Joey Gallo (2020), Daniel Vogelbach (2019), Nomar Mazara (2019), Carlos Delgado (2001) and Mo Vaughn (1999) as the only players to homer to that part of the ballpark, per Mariners PR.
With his next homer, Seattle's catcher would become just the seventh player to reach 60 in a single season, joining Sammy Sosa (1998, 1999, 2001), Mark McGwire (1998, 1999), Barry Bonds (2001), Roger Maris
