Cal Raleigh Shatters Legendary Johnny Bench’s Catcher Home Run Record—What’s Next for This Powerhouse?
CHICAGO — What a night it was at Wrigley Field! Cal Raleigh didn’t just knock a couple of homers; he blasted Johnny Bench’s nearly half-century old record right out of the park. Before the All-Star break had even rolled around, Raleigh smacked his 28th and 29th home runs of the season, catapulting the Seattle Mariners to a solid 9-4 win over the Cubs. Watching a young catcher topple a Hall of Famer’s benchmark with games to spare brings a rush of excitement—especially when that Hall of Famer is none other than Bench, whose 1970 record stood tall for decades.
