Cal Raleigh gets a closeup from the YES Network during Yankees-Mariners


The yes network highlighted the nickname Cal Raleigh when they broadcast Tuesday evening.
Cal Raleigh has a magical season. Including the game Tuesday evening, the Seattle Mariners receiver led the majors with 35 circuits, and Raleigh was not only voted as a starter for the next stars match, but he was also selected as one of the participants of the Home Run Derby.
As the programming gods would have, Raleigh and the Navy were in New York on Tuesday evening to start a three game set with New York Yankees. It gave Michael Kay and the network yes a chance to pay tribute to Raleigh and what he has accomplished this season.
As well as his, well, butt.
As has been well documented here and elsewhere, Raleigh is affectionately known as “Big Dumper”. After Raleigh walked at the top of the sixth, the distribution team recognized its nickname and as Kay said, its “big afterward”.
It was then that the cameras zoom.

It’s true, the triple butt zoom.
Do not see it every day.
Thanks also to closed subtitling, we also have this for posterity, so to speak:

Tremendous.
Update: To crown the night, Raleigh completed his 36th explosion later in the match:
36 CAL RALEIGH circuits!
