The Mariners clinched their first playoff berth since 2001 last night, in the most dramatic way possible: They would have clinched if the Orioles had lost earlier in the evening, but they didn't! The Orioles managed to beat the Yankees (lol), and while there are still a handful of games left in the season, you don't really want to wait to punch your post-season ticket.
So, of course, in the bottom of the 9th inning in a tied game against the Oakland A's, 3-2 count, 2 outs already recorded, Cal Raleigh just absolutely crushes a ball into the right field seats.
Baseball rules man.
