Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh narrowly lost the American League MVP award to New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge in a controversial vote. His girlfriend Hannah Shimek certainly showed him some MVP love afterward, though.

Judge received 17 first-place votes to Raleigh’s 13 and finished with 355 total points, while Raleigh came in second with 335 points. It was a heartbreaking loss for the MLB’s home run champ with a Mariners record and MLB catcher record of 60 with 125 RBIs.

Raleigh and the Mariners also came one win away from making the World Series in a seven-game ALCS series vs. the Toronto Blue Jays. The man known “The Big Dumper” hit six postseason homers as well and had the Pacific Northwest electrified all postseason.
