The Washington State House of Representatives recognizes the vital role that professional sports, particularly the Seattle Mariners, play in the cultural and economic fabric of Washington. They celebrate the remarkable achievements of Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh during the 2025 MLB season, where he led the league with 60 home runs and 125 runs batted in, making him only the seventh player in MLB history to reach the 60-home run milestone. Raleigh also set multiple records, including the most home runs by a catcher in a single season and the most by a switch-hitter, while contributing significantly to the Mariners' success in clinching the American League West Division Championship and advancing to the American League Championship Series.

In recognition of Raleigh's historic contributions and dedication to excellence, the resolution honors him for the pride he has instilled in Mariners fans and communities across Washington State. The House of Representatives expresses its appreciation by resolving to transmit copies of the resolution to Raleigh, the Seattle Mariners organization, and Major League Baseball, acknowledging his outstanding achievements and the impact he has had on the sport and the state.
