Cal Raleigh's star is shining that much brighter after his win in the Home Run Derby on Monday night. It also had the effect of warming everyone's hearts, as sharing in Raleigh's triumph were his father, Todd Sr., and his younger brother, Todd Jr.

As "Big Dumper" did the hitting, Todd Jr. did the catching and Todd Sr. did the pitching. Though Raleigh's dad actually hit his son with a pitch at one point, he grooved enough of them for the MLB home run leader to send 54 balls into the Truist Park bleachers, ultimately resulting in a win over Junior Caminero in the finals.
