June 30 was a magical night for Cal Raleigh. Not only did the Mariners star smash a home run in Seattle’s 6-2 win over the Royals, but every one of his teammates celebrated Cal’s beautiful butt in the process.
Every one of this teammates chose their own butt-themed song as part of an incredible pitch for “Big Dumper” to make the All-Star Game.

All the greatest booty hits were here. Of course Raleigh himself had the opportunity to claim the seminal “Baby Got Back” as his own. It’s all part of the glory of Big Dumper, and even fans started to take notice in the stands that there was a more unique feel surrounding the game on Monday.
lmao i think all the mariners switched their walk up songs to something about the ass – the first three did – probably for cal raleigh. gotta wait til the next inning to see if the rest of them did it’s so funny

There’s been a little contention about the Big Dumper nickname in the past. While Raleigh has embraced his butt-themed moniker, his mom wasn’t always sold. At first she detested the nickname her son had been given in MLB, but over time she’s warmed up to the love her son’s ass gets on a nightly basis.
Big Dumper is a legendary, iconic nickname and it’s been given with love. It helps match his ludicrously brilliant play this season as Raleigh approaches the All-Star break with 33 home runs and 74 RBIs in 84 games.
The man is an All-Star for sure.
