Cal is making home run history for the American League and got #60 tonight!!

Absurd season from this man, MVP or not (I personally would like to see him win it though)
Hell yeah brother
Nice. Only what, 2 from the record? Judge and Maris?
Edit: Some clarity, I don’t agree with the “official” record being that Sosa, McGwire, and Bonds (all steroid users/cheaters) are the top three. It dilutes the beautiful game.
Unreal
He’ll break the record against our bullpen in a few days
God I love Big Dumper so much
3 homers in 4 games is a tall task, but far from impossible for Cal. Insane to think that he could be the all-time single season American League home run leader.
I don’t even feel like he’s a household name for non baseball fans.
I don’t care what Yankee fans wanna say, this is the MVP.
60. In a season. Just the 7th to ever do it (ironically just after Judge himself), and the first catcher to do it, the hardest position in baseball. And he is a top tier defensive catcher, running one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. And a central part of a team winning its first division title in 24 years.
If you think the MVP is anyone else, you are delulu and may see yourself to the exit.
MVP
Yeah but Judge has a higher war so who cares right? /S
Big props to the Nole!
imagine a catcher having the record for most hr in a season w 63
Juiced…
MVP
He did it again!! 🔱🔱 MIGHT AS WELL WIN THE WHOLE FUCKING THING 🔱🔱
I swear he space-jammed PCA and Seiya when they were at Wrigley before the all star game. Cal just broke 60 and neither of my two cubbies have broken 30
I’ll take a switch hitting catcher calling games on a potential division winning team with 60+ home runs over a right fielder with 50 home runs as mvp 8 days a week. Both are great, but Raliegh, for me, is the clear choice.
What’s interesting to me is that supposedly some players don’t want to compete in the Home Run Derby because they think it’ll sap their energy for the rest of the season, but Cal won it this year and is The Man, still powering them over the fences.
Only 2 more to tie the record!
Absolutely magical season from the Big Dumper. Cannot believe that a catcher has hit 60 home runs. This didn’t even seem within reach before August! Then he hit 10 home runs in September and has four more games to clinch the record on an absolute heater!
Props to Seattle and props to Cal for a crazy run that’s been awesome to watch as an outside fan.
he’ll get the MVP. everyone fervently hates the yankees and don’t them to win anything in any category ever again. is what it is. congrats cal
Pete Alonso breaking Judge’s rookie home run record the next season annoyed me, but Jesus Christ this will really sting if he breaks or ties Judge’s record. Please don’t pitch to him
Your AL MVP folks
If he gets to 63, then I will consider him to be the HR King. The guy above him just don’t count anymore.
He’s about to break the New York State record!
That cemented the MVP for me. I only get this excited for my own team. Go Cal!
As great as Judge is, not making this man an MVP is a horrible mistake
Wow amazing crazy mlb year quardians backs now. Crazy
Cal for MVP!
The # of fans that couldn’t hold on to that HR #60 ball was hilarious. There’ll be quite a few people kicking themselves the next day.
It’s pretty ok for a switch hitting catcher.
The fact that no one, and I mean *no* one is talking about PEDs is criminal. It’s like no one learned a thing from the mid 00’s.
A guy can not go from a virtual nobody and then morph into Babe Ruth over night without cheating. It’s not possible. And when he gets popped, or his muscles magically shrink next year and he can’t hit again, you remember this post.
We are getting closer and closer to outperforming the steroids era
If I said at the start of this season- “Cal Raleigh is not only going to win the HR derby but will go on to hit 60 dingers, 125 RBIs and lead the Seattle Mariner’s to their first division title since 2001.”, I don’t belive a single person out there would believe it. The Big Dumper is the 2025 MVP and the award going to anyone else would be an absolute shame. If I didn’t know any better, the many articles and comments I’ve read lately would lead me to believe that a players value is solely determined from offensive stats. The truth of the matter is that the significance of a catcher accomplishing what Cal has this year is truly a once in a lifetime spectacle and should be treated as such. What this award comes down to is who will the journalists pick to be MVP- an offensive juggernaut- who is also a household name in a big market? Or a lesser known player in Seattle who is making history while largely impacting the game on both sides of the ball?

I hope he breaks Judge’s record
