“It doesn’t seem real,” Raleight said after the game. “Fifty homers are a bit crazy, unheard of.”
The 28 -year -old became the eighth player in the history of MLB to reach 50 homers before the end of August. With the homer, Raleigh became the second player of the sailors to hit 50 homers in a season.
The member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, Ken Griffey Jr., did it twice, reaching 56 homers in 1997 and 1998.

Raleight’s home run was his third in his last two games. In the team’s 11-4 victory over athletics on Sunday, he hit two homers and broke the record of the Kansas City receiver, Salvador Pérez, 48 homers, set in 2021.
“I thought I was a great player when I hit five (home runs) when I was young, in high school or something,” Raleigh said.
