Default Cal Raleigh ties Mantle Record!!!

Raleigh joined Mickey Mantle as the only switch-hitters with 50 homers in a season and became the eighth player in major league history to reach the half-century mark in August.

A couple of days ago, he set the single season home run record for catchers.

Although baseball purists dispute this as nine of his home runs have come when he was the DH.

The record for home runs while only playing catcher belongs to Javy Lopez, who hit 42 for the Atlanta Braves in 2003 in just 117 games (he hit one more as a pinch-hitter).
