Overview

• Glenn Mutti-Driscoll secured Raleigh’s eighth-inning 60th home run in the right-field stands and handed it to a nearby 12-year-old named Marcus.
• Mariners guest relations quickly authenticated the ball and arranged a trade with Marcus for a Raleigh-signed bat and batting-practice access, returning the ball to the catcher.
• The club located Mutti-Driscoll the next day, inviting his family for a pregame meet-and-greet where Raleigh presented a personalized signed bat and autographed baseballs for his sons.
• Auction specialists described the milestone ball as a six-figure collectible, with one estimate around $200,000, underscoring the value of the item Mutti-Driscoll gave away.
• Raleigh’s two homers powered a 9-2 win over the Rockies to clinch the Mariners’ first AL West title since 2001, leaving him at 60 with three games to chase Aaron Judge’s AL record of 62.
