He spent more than an hour talking about baseball, life, how he got the "Big Dumper" nickname, and ended each visit promising he would be thinking about and praying for that person.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh tied his career-high for home runs with the hardest-hit batted ball of his career Friday.
