Cal Raleigh Meets Mariners Fan Who Caught HR with Viral 'Dump 61 Here' Shirt in Photo

Seattle Mariners star Cal Raleigh met up with a fan who went viral after catching his 61st home run on Tuesday.

Following the Mariners' win over the Detroit Tigers, the catcher met the fan who wore a shirt that said "Dump 61 Here." The fan offered to give the ball back to Raleigh, but he told him to keep it. Raleigh also gave him a signed ball and bat.

Raleigh's 61st home run this year came on the road in Detroit, so the fact that it ended up in the hands of a Mariners fan—let alone one wearing a "Dump 61 Here" shirt—seems like something out of a movie.

After catching the home run, the fan switched to a shirt that read, "Dump 62 Here," but he wasn't quite lucky enough to catch another home run from Raleigh.

Raleigh is coming off a historic regular season, hitting the most home runs (60) and the third-most RBI (125) while leading the Mariners to the postseason. He broke the single-season home run records for primary catchers and switch hitters and set a new Mariners franchise record, surpassing Ken Griffey's 57.

Seattle is hoping to ride the MVP play of Raleigh into a deep postseason run. The Mariners already won their first AL West title since 2001, and they're now just a win away from advancing to the American League Championship Series for the first time since 2001, when they came up short against the New York Yankees.

They'll look to close the series out on the road on Wednesday, and they might want to have the fan from Tuesday night's game there for good luck.
