After he was shown on the big screen, Kraken fans gave Raleigh a standing ovation, and let him know who is their MVP.
Raleigh led the Mariners to one of the best seasons in franchise history, finishing 90-72 in the regular season, winning the AL West division, and coming one win away from the franchise’s first World Series berth.
The Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers in the American League Division Series, before falling to the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games in the American League Championship Series.
Raleigh showed his support for the Kraken just before the team’s playoff push, rocking the Kraken’s glow-in-the-dark alternate sweater back in September.
Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor also supported the Kraken during the team’s postseason appearance, wearing the jersey during the Mariners’ celebrations after clinching the ALDS win.
