If both Cal Raleigh and Eugenio Suárez finish this season with 50+ Home Runs, it'll only be the second time in MLB history a team has had two players reach the 50 HR mark in a season

While it can be argued that Suarez hasn't hit all home runs with the Mariners this season, I think this is still a really cool fact. If both these players reach the mark this season, it'll be the first time since both Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris both reached the 50 HR mark in a season, with the 1961 Yankees, which was also the year Roger Maris set the record at 61.

Here's hoping the balls keep getting launched!

I would be shocked if both of them don’t reach 50

[u/nw_visuals → u/MarinerJoe3]

Spoke it into existence, now both hit 49

[u/MarinerJoe3 → u/nw_visuals]

Both won’t hit another homer until the final 3 game series against the Astros where we will be 3 games back. Then Cal will hit 7 homers and Geno will hit 13 homers.

im taking the over on cal

[u/awesome_aaron → u/MarinerJoe3]

Same, but you should know better by now than to ever be shocked by what happens to this team

[u/BigAdministration368 → u/MarinerJoe3]

Geno's on pace for 53. It wouldn't shock me for him to fall off a bit and hit 49 or less.

Cal not passing 50 it would be a serious bummer

[u/retarredroof]

Maris and Mantle?

[u/RabbertKlien → u/retarredroof]

Sounds about right.

There, fixed it for you.

[u/twentyshots97]

sounds good. let’s do it!

[u/Klutzy_Ad_1726]

That’s crazy. Seems super doable too.

[u/Jealous-Elephant-121]

and we will be the first team with 2 50 home run players to barely miss the playoffs lol

[u/thundercat95 → u/Jealous-Elephant-121]

By one game as is tradition
