Carlos Delgado hits 4 home runs in one game (2003)

[@wakeruncollapse]

What a monster shot that last one was. If anyone ever earned a post-homer bat flip, it was Delgado in that moment.

[@smokinjoe4684]

Legendary bat flip.

[@DanMolden99]

Dude. First one was mashed . Dead center and up

[@RubsForeheadXTwo]

Bautista

[@stephen9302]

Bautista-esque bat flip

[@trinivagrant]

Delgado is probably the least appreciated player in that era of baseball. Also my favorite player ever. I would always try to mimic his swing and stance, beautiful.

[@PapooseKN]

Yup!

[@EAchank]

His own GM used to talk shit about Delgado. JP Ricciardi used to say that he was no Jason Giambi Delgado was a great player

[@HandsOfCinderblock]

Randy James EAchank In 2000 he hit 41 dingers and hit .344/.470/.664/1.134... hit at least 40 home runs in two other seasons as a Blue Jay, and also hit at least 30 in five other seasons. Ricciardi clearly didn't know what he was talking about.

[@bascorasco7984]

Hands of Cinderblock Giambi was a better hitter back then.

[@EAchank]

Bascorasco but he was juicing large so Delgado is better

[@ralph7545]

Carlos Delgado deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Plain and simple.

[@KevinCantWait08]

Man, I loved Carlos Delgado when he was playing. By far one of my favorite players in all of baseball. That swing is absolutely beautiful. The way he steps into it and just blasts it is something else.

[@willthewild]

Carlos Delgado was overshadowed by the steriod era...One of the most underrated MLB players of all-time

[@Jacobthekid28]

The fact that it is an uphill battle for him to get into the Hall of Fame is a crime shame.

[@ajtaylor8016]

If you're ever going to unabashedly bat-flip, I don't think there's a better time to do it than after hitting your fourth HR of the game. Strong move by Carlos.

[@ryanlaney3627]

Crushed the hell out of that last one

[@nigelkhan1666]

One of my all-time favorite NY Mets. What a sweet swing. He deserves to be in the HOF.

[@sanitary103]

the way he flung the bat on the 4th homer pretty much sums it up.

[@84092654]

I was at that game and sitting in left in a box above Windows. Despite the treat of getting invited to a box, I wasn't really looking forward to it that much - late September and the Jays were well out of the race and the Devil Rays were just terrible. Carlos made me eat my words!

[@jpta162]

1:44 That might be the best bat flip I have ever seen.

[@imploder14]

I had to check the timestamp on this to make sure you were pre Bautista

[@um52]

Carlos was such a great great batter, contact and power. He was so dominant on the Blue Jays, but he was over shadowed by the juicers....Bonds, Sosa, Giambi, A Rod. I don't know if he will go in, but I think he deserves the hall of fame, especially for a "natural" player.

[@blip9999999999999999]

I grew up with baseball. I lived so close to Dodger stadium I could hear the crowd cheering homeruns. I had never heard of Carlos Delgado until I looked up all-time 4 home run games. God bless this amazing black man.

[@AllDayBlueJays]

Apparently you didn't grow up with baseball well enough since you didn't know who Delgado was lol.

[@smd6141]

Bro he's from the beautiful land called PUERTO RICO. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@jaykid2438]

this guy knows nothing about baseball or sports... probly only likes the dodgers cuz his friends do to

[@HandsOfCinderblock]

When I was watching baseball for the first time, this guy was my favourite player. Would gladly get a Delgado jersey today.

[@ConnorDoubleYou]

I watched this live as a 13 year old and it was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen and still is for that matter. As someone whose been a Toronto sports fan for the last 10-15 years, I don't have a ton of great sports memories, but this is definitely one of them.

[@MasonsInquiries]

Congrats, Mr. Delgado!! A true class-act!

[@NickPR87]

The #1 HR hitter among Puerto Rican major leaguers! Carlos always represented us with class and dignity, such a great role model.

[@brandonfarr6740]

him and juan gone

[@BluBlu111]

the second home run Lou Pinella was still calm and relaxed by the fourth home lou lou bell is a stirring in his seat and his whole facial expression changed 🤣

[@mattlottridge4942]

I was at this game with my best friend. It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen!!!!

[@dsciple]

My favorite player of all time.

[@timwoloszyn3711]

Way underrated!! Should be a hall of famer!! That bat flip was awesome

[@digiblader1]

Had Carlos Delgado's hip not degenerated toward the end of his career, he would've likely hit 500+ HRs.

[@robertanderson2898]

Gregory Pearsoll Same for Albert Belle. Did that also happen to Vlad Guerrero? He was on his way, then everything just went south.......

[@PapaShongo25]

He led my team the Mets in homeruns the last year he played and never appeared again. I'll never forget spring training the next year going "where the fuck is Delgado?" I've never seen someone fall off the map like him, great player.

[@robertanderson2898]

PapaShongo25 Yeah Delgado sure lost it in a hurry. He DID lead the Mets in HR in 2008, but he did play in '09 (4 Homers in 26 Games). 1241 Runs, 2038 Hits, 483 Doubles, 473 Homeruns, 1512 RBI, and a solid .280 Average. I'd say borderline Hall of Fame worthy. Better chance had he got to 500 homers. In 2000 he had one of his best seasons.... 57 Doubles, 1 Triple, 41 Home Runs = 99 Extra Base Hits, plus he batted .344 to boot. 7 of his 9 seasons of 100+ RBI were at least 114 or better, and he had 13 consecutive seasons of at least 24 Home Runs (1996-2008).

[@EAchank]

To me he should go in because he as CLEAN.

[@depaola63]

Those are HOF #'s!! Esp. NOT being all 'Roid'd up!

[@TheNotoriousKing]

Joey Bats would be proud of that bat flip🔥🔥🔥

[@note2owns]

I remember when this story was on sports center. They did a camera shot from inside the cafe and you could hear the ball hit the glass with an extremely loud thud!! Epic!!

[@storytimewithunclebill1998]

Delgado was a beast. Straight crushed homeruns. Really cool to hit number 300 and have 4 homers in one game. Great video

[@jcarreon1983jc]

[@Jedi_Hush]

As Chris Berman would say.....He Del-Got it!

[@ckendall67]

- I remember watching this game; I missed the 1st & 3rd HRs but saw the 2nd & the 4th. I knew he'd hit 3 though when he came up for his last at-bat & I remember thinking 'why don't they just put him on now' Lol. I was also thinking 'What if he hits another here...eh, no way, it won't happen...' then BOOM. And Carlos knew it was gone soon as he flipped the bat. An amazing performance. It kinda got lost in the baseball shuffle at the time because the Red Sox clinched the AL Wildcard on the same night & the NL wildcard race was pretty exciting at the time too( the Marlins of course clinched ), plus the sparse attendance at the time....a LOT of fans missed out on a memorable performance that's for sure.

[@smyleh7346]

This guy has legitimate hall of fame numbers. One of the most terrifying hitters in the majors for well over a decade. In his prime he was just as good, if not better, than David Ortiz.

[@DonBienveRosario15]

Im dominican and we are idolaters of Ortiz and he was WAY better than David but his injuries obligates him to retire

[@Bourgusmorg]

Wonder what the measurement was on that fourth one because it looked monumental !

[@Bourgusmorg]

Loved him when he was with my Mets and he was really good ! Too bad it had to end shorter than expected.

[@nestormedina529]

Did he get blackballed by the MLB?

[@koolaidman9922]

Oh I remember. For the most part, it was always a paper team at most. There was some individual talent, but the roster wasn't deep.
