Cal Raleigh breaks Mickey Mantle’s switch-hitter HR record, ties Ken Griffey Jr. for Mariners’ all-time mark
The recipient of the Mariners Cal Raleigh continues to make history. He went deeply twice Tuesday evening in Kansas City against the Royals during a 12-5 mariners’ victory.
The victory was the 10th consecutive naval, marking his longest victory sequence since he took 14 in a row in the 2022 season. The navies have maintained their advance in a match in the Al West while they are looking to secure their first division title since 2001. Julio Rodríguez had another big match and Dominic Canze did 5 for 5 circuits, becoming the first player This feat since 2019, when Kyle Seager did it.
With the history of the season involved, Raleigh is the headlines here.
Raleigh’s first Tuesday circuit came in the third round and was its 55th of the season. This is a significant number because Raleigh has passed the renowned temple Mickey Mantle and has set a new record for the greatest number of circuits of all time in a season by a boost.
Raleigh then struck his 56th of the season, equalizing the temple of renown Ken Griffey Jr. for the Mariners franchise record.
Raleigh has already set the record for Most Home Runs by a main receiver In a season, which was 48 years old. He blew it. If you wanted to look only for the circuits hit by serving as a recipient – instead of including raleigh circuits as DH – it has 44. The previous record was 42, established by Javy Lopez des Braves in 2003. This means that Raleigh also set this record with his first Home Run Tuesday evening.
In addition, it was the 10th Multi-Homers of Raleigh of the season. The record is 11, which was previously achieved by Aaron Judge in 2022, Sammy Sosa in 1998 and Hank Greenberg in 1938 (via Sarah Langs).

Raleigh is now tied with Griffey Jr. (1997 and 1998) and Hack Wilson (1930) for the 19th-Highest Single-Season Home Run Total at 56. Luis Gonzalez (2001) and Alex Rodriguez (2002) Are Next at 57. Five Players Ended with exactly 58 (Jimmie Foxx 1932, Greenberg in 1938, Mark McGwire in 1997, Ryan Howard in 2006 and Aaron judges last season). Giancarlo Stanton in 2017 and Babe Ruth in 1921 finished with 59.
And then there is the sacred terrain of more than 60 circuits, where we only saw Barry Bonds (73 in 2021), Mark McGwire (70 in 1998 and 65 in 1999), Sammy Sosa (66 in 1998, 64 in 2001 and 63 in 1999), Aaron Judge (62 in 2022), Roger Maris (61 in 1961) Maris (61 in 1961) and Ruth (60 years old), Roger Maris (61 in 1961) and 62 years old).
Mariners have 11 remaining games after Tuesday. They will seek to lock this elusive division title while Raleigh has a chance to climb higher on this list of home circuits in a single season.
