The Seattle Mariners are now one win away from their first ALCS appearance since 2001 after defeating the Detroit Tigers in Game 3 of the 2025 ALDS. But it was Cal Raleigh ’s postgame gesture—not just the victory—that stole the spotlight. After launching a clutch ninth-inning home run, Raleigh met the fan who caught the ball while wearing the now-viral “Dump Here 61” shirt.

The Mariners took to their official X (formerly known as Twitter) to share the unforgettable moment.

Fox 13 Sports' Aaron Levine also took to the platform, providing more information on the fan and his preparation for the big moment.
