Overview

• The Mariners identified Glenn Mutti-Driscoll from viral videos and invited his family to meet Raleigh before Thursday’s game.
• Raleigh presented a personalized signed bat to Mutti-Driscoll and autographed two baseballs for his sons, then posed for photos on the field.
• Raleigh’s eighth-inning shot on Wednesday reached the right-field stands, making him the seventh player ever to hit 60 home runs in a season.
• Mutti-Driscoll said the ball ricocheted to him and that he chose to hand it to a nearby youngster after holding it briefly.
• Mariners guest relations coordinated with the child to exchange memorabilia so the ball could reach Raleigh, and the gesture drew wide praise with comparisons to a recent Phillies fan dispute.
