Cal Raleigh Ties Mickey Mantle With 54th Home Run

Raleigh hit his 54th homer Sunday against the Angels, matching Mantle’s 1961 record for most in a season by a switch hitter. Raleigh already broke Salvador Perez’s single-season mark for primary catchers and sits two behind Ken Griffey Jr.’s franchise record. With 34 homers left-handed and 20 right-handed, Raleigh said: "Thank the Lord my dad made me a switch hitter.”
