Cal Raleigh is the 7th catcher with 40 or more HRs (with two months to go!) although 8 of his 40 have come while batting as the DH. Roy Campanella - 1953 (41) Johnny Bench - 45 (1970) 40 (1972) Todd Hundley (41) 1996 Mike Piazza - 40 (1997) 40 (1998) Javy Lopez (43) 2003 Salvatore Perez (48) 2021 -- 15 of his 48 were hit as a DH Also, not only does Cal Raleigh join the 'All State Capitals' team but, being a North Carolina native, his name is the same as his Own state capital. Can Daryl Boston (b. Cincinnati, OH) say that? I don't think so!
