"With the Mariners leading 6-1 in the top of the ninth, MVP contender Cal Raleigh, a.k.a. The Big Dumper due to his large posterior, cranked a two-run home run to the opposite field in left. The ball landed in the Seattle bullpen and bounced up to a lone Mariners fan in the first row. It was Raleigh's first homer of the postseason, on top of the 60 he hit during the regular season."
"After Seattle's catcher rounded the bases, the Fox Sports broadcasting crew noted that the fan who ended up with the ball was wearing an unusual, if not prophetic shirt. He literally has a shirt that says Dump Here,' and he got the home run on a bounce for number 61, observed Adam Amin. No way, reacted Adam Wainwright."
Halloween was still three weeks away, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 8-4 in Game 3 of the ALDS at Comerica Park to take a 2-1 series lead. With a 6-1 lead in the ninth, Cal Raleigh launched a two-run opposite-field homer that bounced into the Seattle bullpen and landed near a lone fan in the first row. The homer was Raleigh's first of the postseason, adding to his 60 regular-season homers. Broadcasters noted the fan wore a 'Dump Here' shirt and then revealed matching '61' and '62' shirts, creating an uncanny coincidence. The series winner advances to face either the Yankees or Blue Jays.
