In some ways it is fortunate, and in other ways it is unfortunate, that a documentary has to have a finite duration. The Home of Raleigh is a 75 minute movie that traces the roots of Seattle Mariners' Gold & Platinum Glove winning catcher Cal Raleigh back to his father Todd's hometown of Swanton, Vermont. The film tells the story of the Raleigh family, who have faced incredible loss, worked hard, and seen astronomical success.
As one can imagine, there’s nearly a hundred hours of interviews, game film and behind the scenes footage that did not make the final cut. Fortunately for Aha Sports subscribers, additional footage - including never seen before interviews with Hall of Fame coach Jack Leggett - will be released in 2025.
Here is a short clip, one of many, in which Clemson University and Hall of Fame Coach Jack Leggett sits with former players Matt and Todd Raleigh discussing their relationship and times playing and coaching baseball.
Jack Leggett - Leggett was inducted into the Western Carolina University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001and the Vermont Principals Association Hall of Fame in 2009. In 2014, Leggett was inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Leggett was a member of the 2015 class of the Vermont Sports Hall of Fame. (courtesy of Wikipedia)
