Cal Raleigh's epic walk-off homerun that sent the Seattle Mariners to the playoffs, in photos

For the first time since 2001, the Mariners will be going to the playoffs. And for the rest of his life, Cal Raleigh will forever be a legend in Seattle. He gave the city’s baseball team the biggest moment it has seen in two decades.

Things were simple for the Mariners coming into Friday night’s game against the A’s. All they needed to do was win and they’d be playoff bound.

A win was far from guaranteed, though. The game came down to the bottom of the 9th inning with both teams only having scored one run. The Mariners were on their final out of the inning when Cal Raleigh came up to bat.

Then this magic happened.

And for the first time in 21 years, the Mariners are going to the playoffs. The crowd went crazy. Bliss covered the entire team. It was a moment for Seattle sports.

Here it all is in photos.
