TB@TOR: Delgado blasts four homers in the game

[@ireniosalazar4087]

This dude was so underrated, one of the most under appreciated players of his era. As a Yankees fan I always feared him & Vernon Wells.

[@baseballaddict2838]

That last bat flip was legendary. What an offensive performance.

[@PoochieCollins]

I just looked up the box score for the game and the Blue Jays pretty much needed all of it as they won only 10-8, adding a clutchness factor to the performance.

[@NormAppleton]

He was AWESOME for the Mets too

[@shillebrand00]

The bat flip on No. 4 is legendary.

[@MM-rv5he]

Moving to Toronto, Canada at the age of 10 and never been exposed to baseball before, Carlos Delgado totally made me fall in love with the game. I use to try and mimic his moves as a little kid!

[@jabronie25]

Now that's a bat flip!

[@washingtonredskin6574]

that is a sweet, sweet bat flip.

[@TheRmm1976]

This guy should be in the HoF. If not for a late career hip injury he would have easily eclipsed 500 HRs. One of the best lefty swings of the modern era.

[@EAchank]

He played clean during the steroid era and should be in the HOF

[@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO.]

Definitely

[@atom-bomboriginal6387]

Lol. Dude he was hulked up just like the rest of them. Don't be so nieve

[@Blankford777]

#4 was a NUKE! Loved me some Carlos Delgado back in the day.

[@dravenbbs66]

I never wanted the Yankees to face the Bluejays during the early 2000s because of this man. Carlos Delgado was a scary raw power hitter that use to kill us.

[@ckendall67]

Those Jays teams were led by Carlos Delgado at the plate and 'Doc' Halladay on the mound. They flirted with a shot at the wildcard in 2003 but ultimately finished well back of the Red Sox that year. It's a shame that none of those Jays teams ever made the postseason with Delgado and Halladay, but at the same time the Yankees and Red Sox were the dominant teams in the division, the Jays always wound up in 3rd place as a result.

[@NYCHeavyHitz212]

@@ckendall67 It’s funny how it’s still like that almost 20 years from now even with the Rays in the mix. Their offense has been killer since the Joe Carter days - followed by the Delgado era, which is then followed by the Bautista/Encarnación era and now Vladdy/Simeon/Hernandez/Bichette. Crazy

[@gregstephens4028]

That 4th Home Run was an absolute bomb. Wonder what the distance was?

[@note2owns]

I remember seeing the highlights on Sportscenter and the last homerun actually pinged off of the window, and they actually showed a view from inside of the restaurant and you could hear the ball hit with a loud thud. I am willing to bet that last homer was 500+ feet.

[@moheganson]

Not 4 homers but quite the blast .... m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWjMnX6ugK-Gl5I

[@frankdrebin259]

491 ft.

[@youzettasonsofdigits1639]

Carlos Delgado my favorite baseball player of all time. I attended over 20 games with him as a Blue Jay and always watching him belt the ball over the wall was the best thing to see ever. I nearly even caught a ball homered by Tony Batista too lol

[@ramonsantiago638]

Orgullo Boricua,🇵🇷💪☝️y al natural.gracias Carlos por representar nuestra isla dignamente.

[@youraverageconsoleplayer9172]

I would’ve loved to see stat cast on that last homer. That was an absolute BOMB!!

[@angiedelgado7079]

To me he was a borderline guy for HOF. He had 30 or more HRs in 10 straight seasons. consisted every year. Sad and mess up he didn't even stay alive in da ballot.

[@dzanier]

agreed. he was a great player.

[@TheFaithfulAtheist]

Same thing for Jim Edmonds. They both got shafted hard.

[@benchwarmerss9165]

Well they probably slighted him because he didn’t want to stand for god bless America .... it was for his beliefs but ironically do u stand for god bless America in Canada? 🤣

[@davidlevy4291]

One more season might have done it....27 away from 500 HRs. Every player who has hit 500 is in the hall of fame (Minus the juicers)

[@Rumplesti1tskin]

I read an article that said his refusal to stand during God Bless America in protest of the war in Iraq may have cost him some votes for Hall.

[@ericmonaco4509]

I like how one of these HRs was his 300th hr

[@tailorknine5046]

Yeah, the first one, then to go ping ping ping again three more times is wild!

[@alyours2889]

Carlos Delgado and Fred McGriff had the same sweet home run swing!

Red Sox fan here. That swing followed by a loud crack was absolutely terrifying. Delgado was one of those opposing players you’d have killed to see your team get

[@johnsimpson3171]

People forget how good he was. Would have had 500 homers easy if not for a hip injury that cut short his career. Career OPS of .929...unreal. If Harold fucking Baines is in the HoF, there's no excuse to keep this guy out.

Wow, I can't think of a more naive approach. Especially when multiple players of the era put the percentage of usage among their contemporaries at north of 65%. To claim with 100% certainty that ANY player during that era was clean is a leap too far. You really can't possess that knowledge.

That fourth homerun has to be at least 480ft but somehow it does not show on the top 10 longest homeruns ever hit at Skydome/Rogers Centre. That landed high on the restaurant area he crushed that ball. They must have not been able to record the actual distance on it.
