""I was standing with it for 15 or 20 seconds and there was a kid in front of me," Mutti-Driscoll said Thursday in an interview, via the Seattle Times."
""The whole thing was surreal. It just was happening so fast," Mutti-Driscoll said Thursday in an interview, via the Seattle Times. "And standing there with it and I guess looking down at the kid, and he deserves it more than me.""
Cal Raleigh hit his 60th home run off Colorado Rockies reliever Angel Chivilli in the bottom of the eighth, a 389-foot drive into the right-field stands. The ball was initially caught by longtime Seattle resident Glenn Mutti-Driscoll, who then handed the historic ball to a 12-year-old fan, Marcus Rueblos, who attended the game with his family. The gift produced an emotional reaction from the young fan and his family. The AL West Division-winning Seattle Mariners and Raleigh presented signed bats to both the 45-year-old fan and the 12-year-old as tokens of appreciation for the generous exchange.
