Cal Raleigh's age-28 season could be considered as one of the best in history. The Seattle Mariners slugger hit 60 home runs in the regular season, was adjudged a runner-up for the American League MVP award, and then set a record for most homers in American League history, regular season and playoffs combined, by hitting 5 more in the postseason as the Mariners went to the AL Championship Series.

To celebrate his birthday, the Mariners posted a clip of all his home runs from the season, which Raleigh also shared on his account.
