Raleigh hit his 32nd homer of the season on Monday in a win over the Twins, as each day turns into a history-making event.

For every big swing and eye-popping home run, Cal Raleigh is building his case for something bigger. Chants of “M-V-P! M-V-P!” are growing louder in the Emerald City for Seattle’s 28-year-old catcher as opposing spectators look away, grit their teeth, and wait for Big Dumper to strike.
