This absurd Cal Raleigh stat just made Pirates' season feel even worse

It's not easy to celebrate another team when yours is down in the dumps, but it's hard not to root for the Seattle Mariners as they pursue their first World Series appearance in franchise history.

They just secured their first division title in a quarter-century, locking in a playoff bye in a crowded American League field.

A lot of credit has to go to their franchise catcher Cal Raleigh, who should be the favorite for the AL MVP award after surpassing 60 home runs on the year.

While Raleigh's power output has been historic for a catcher, it also puts the Pittsburgh Pirates to shame.
