This has been a big week for Cal Raleigh, "The Big Dumper," the All-Star catcher from the Seattle Mariners. Not only did he star in this year's All-Star Game in Atlanta but he won the Home Run Derby, beating out some of the biggest names in Major League Baseball. Last year, Cal was part of our "Young Bloods" blood donation awareness campaign. So, Bloodworks 101 producer John Yeager thought it would be fun to listen to Cal's thoughts on catching, his team and the lifesaving practice of blood donation. For Cal, the issue of blood donation is personal.
