PEORIA, Ariz. — It has been 170 days since Cal Raleigh's life changed forever.
“Probably more than 50,” he admitted with a laugh.His sister, in particular, has taken to ragging on him. She'll mimic Mariners broadcaster Dave Sims' call from seconds before the fateful swing:"Raleigh says he sees something new on each rewatch, though. He notices a different teammate or section of the stands, and sometimes the clip itself is slightly different. Fans regularly send him personalized versions, home videos of themselves watching him make history on TV.
“I got a few drinks,” he said of the couple of months he spent in Seattle this past offseason. He also got a whole lot of double-takes from fans on the street and, when he went to a Seahawks game, people shouting his name. Sort of.People have named their dogs after him and their kids, even. At least one person got a tattoo to commemorate the home run itself — featuring the date, the flight path of the ball and Raleigh’s number. Underneath, it says “Drought Ended;” above it is a giant Mainers “S.”
“I’ve peaked,” Raleigh said, and it’s not really worth even politely protesting. “I think the only thing cooler than that would be winning the World Series. And we’re gonna try to do that.”
