Cal Raleigh Hits Historic 60th Homer, Secures AL West Title for Mariners

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh achieved a monumental milestone on September 24, 2025, hitting his historic 60th home run of the season against Colorado Rockies reliever Angel Chivilli. This 389-foot blast, his second long ball of the night, made him only the seventh player in MLB history to reach the 60-homer mark. The momentous occasion was followed by a heartwarming story: the fan who caught the ball, Glenn Mutti-Driscoll, generously gifted it to 12-year-old Marcus Rueblos, who then ensured the ball was returned to Raleigh. In exchange, Marcus received a signed bat and a batting practice invitation, while Mutti-Driscoll also met Raleigh and received a signed bat. Raleigh's two homers that night were crucial in the Mariners' 9-2 victory over the Rockies, clinching the American League West Division title for Seattle, their first since 2001.
