Cal Raleigh's Two-Run Homer Lands in Fan's 'Big Dumper' Shirt in Unforgettable ALDS Moment

Cal Raleigh, known as 'Big Dumper,' delivered a memorable moment in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Detroit Tigers, hitting a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to extend the Seattle Mariners' lead to 8-1. The blast, a rare opposite-field shot for the left-handed hitter, bounced into the Seattle bullpen and landed directly in the hands of a fan, Jameson Turner, who was wearing a custom 'DUMP 61 HERE' shirt and then revealed a 'DUMP 62 HERE' shirt. Raleigh, who had 60 regular season long balls, expressed amazement at the odds of the ball finding that specific fan. Earlier in the game, Raleigh also contributed an RBI single in the fourth inning. Mariners starter Logan Gilbert praised Raleigh's catching, noting his ability to guide pitchers on what pitches to use.
