The crazy thing to me is Cal is a catcher and doing this! He's only missed 4 games so far this year however. Judge missed 5 games in the year he hit 62. Maris only missed 1 in the year he hit 61. And the Babe hit 60 in 151. I threw a little comparison together and I think it's interesting he's on the same pace as Ruth and Maris /PA-wise (Judge's was best), but a little behind /AB-wise (Ruth's was best).

I would think the Mariners might want to rest him a bit before the postseason, but then again they're still fighting for a spot (they currently hold the last spot with the Rangers, Royals and Guardians nipping at their heels). And he's of course a huge part of their offense so they might not be able to afford resting him much.
