The Toronto faithful can rightfully be frustrated with the Mariners slugger's stance on relaying signals when the shoe is on the other foot.

A new challenger has entered the competition for the home run crown this season. Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is suddenly in the spotlight. He leads the league with 36

He's set the major league record for most home runs by a catcher and a switch-hitter through the first of a season in MLB history. He also passed Ken Griffey Jr. for the most home runs by a Mariners player through the first half in MLB history.

The Mariners announced Rodriguez will not participate after being selected for the American League's (AL) roster. He was set to join starting catcher Cal Raleigh and pitchers Bryan Woo and Andres Munoz in Tuesday's game. "He will take the break to recuperate, rest and prepare for the second half," the Mariners said in a release.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson played with Ken Griffey Jr. for six years when both were in Seattle during the 1990s. Griffey was the man in the Emerald City -- and he could do it all, from hitting monster home runs to making acrobatic catches in center field.

Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run homer, Austin Wells went deep for the third consecutive game and the New York Yankees pounded the Seattle Mariners 10-3 in the opener of a three-game series.

Cal Raleigh continued to tear up the rest of the league with a monster home run for the Mariners against the Yankees.

Cal Raleigh and Aaron Judge are putting on a show similar to what Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa did in 1998. But this chase is better because the 'clean' home run record is at stake.
