Cal Raleigh has had a magical season for the Seattle Mariners, and that continued in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Detroit Tigers.

Not only did Raleigh hit a home run – his first of the postseason after a record-setting 60 in the regular season – he hit it to a Mariners fan in Detroit. The fan also happened to have a shirt that read “Dump 61 here,” and after catching the ball he removed the shirt for another that read “Dump 62 here.”

Raleigh was joined by Eugenio Suarez and J.P. Crawford in the homer party en route to an 8-4 win that brought the Mariners to within one game of the ALCS.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Raleigh’s 60-home run season not only led Major League Baseball, but also set records for the most ever by a catcher, a switch-hitter and a Mariner. With that being said, how many of the players to lead MLB in home runs since the 1997 season can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
