The Seattle Mariners receiver Cal Raleigh broke one of the renowned temple records Johnny Bench in the 9-4 victory of the team against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Friday.
Raleigh, 28, struck two circuits, his 28th and 29 years old, and broke the bench record for most of the circuits for a receiver before the stars break. Bench had set the previous record in 1970.
The 28th explosion of Raleigh’s season came during the first round of the starter of the Cubs Matthew Boyd. The recipient of the Navy has torn the 95-h / h Boyd ball just above the wall in the field of the center left to give the Mariners an advance of 1-0.

With the first -round explosion, Raleigh equaled the bench record. However, it would only be tied with the bench for six rounds.
At the top of the seventh round, Raleigh torn the lift of the Cubs Caleb Thielbar at 94 MPH Fastball on the line for a two-point home run to give the Mariners a 6-4 lead, and spent the bench to establish the new record.
“Whenever you are mentioned even in the same sentence with one of the best, otherwise the best to do it, is a special thing,” said Raleigh.

“I’m just very grateful. He is a hell of a player or was a hell of a player. And as I said, very, very happy on this subject.”
Raleigh’s 29 home circuits are the most in the Major Baseball League, and his racing match at several home was the sixth of his season.
Raleigh only needed 73 games to beat the record that the bench established in 87 games. The navy star broke the brand with 22 games to lose before the star match.
