Cal's Dad and uncles were all great athletes. I played soccer with his Uncle John, but he also, was known more for baseball. Cal is kicking ass!

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. I just realized, like Jason Vortex, he's a switch-hitting catcher!! I have a MARINERS 29 RALEIGH jersey.

00:10 - Jason Varitek wore this exact same style of facial hair, and now I undersatnd why Cal does.

[@craigmooring2091]

I have had my eye on Cal and been rooting for him since Jerry picked him in round 3 of the 2018 draft. I was concerned when time wore on that June and there was no word that he was signed for so long. The scouting on him was what first drew my attention, especially his switch-hitting. Watching his development coming up through the system was encouraging, too, and the more of his personality that I saw, the better. My major concern was that we shouldn't rush him to the show from AAA as we did with Mike (Zunino) to the latter's detriment at the plate. I am so happy for Cal that he is finding his groove at the MLB plate. He is my favorite, and I feel a bit like a proud papa when I watch him play.
P.S. I don't think his butt is THAT big. 😛

[@jetfan88]

Wait, shoot, why can't we say Strawberries?!

[@solophentii3468]

IIRC, Special K can’t legally say ‘strawberries’ on the box because they’re dehydrated to the point that they don’t qualify as berries.

[@callanlong5289]

Me and him have the same name lol, we also wear the same number, 29.
