Cal Raleigh Equals Ken Griffey Jr.’s Legendary Mariners Home Run Record—But What Comes Next Will Shock Fans!
“Being mentioned alongside a guy like that—iconic, a legend, first-ballot Hall of Famer—it’s humbling,” Cal admitted. “I’m just trying to do right by it and keep the momentum going. If I can channel even a sliver of what he did, that’s a benchmark worth chasing.”
Cal sees Griffey as someone who could’ve obliterated the major league home run record were it not for injuries cutting his prime short—a record that still looms large, even if Barry Bonds holds the current mark. And it’s not just a public admiration: whenever Griffey swings back through Seattle, like during the FIFA Club World Cup at Lumen Field, Cal treasures the chance to chat with “The Kid” himself.
