Carlos Delgado is bomb:
September 17, 1998
2 HR against Detroit including 100th career
April 20, 2001
3 HR against Kansas City including 200th career
September 25, 2003
4 HR in 4 AB against Tampa Bay including 300th career
August 22, 2006
400th career HR is the 11th Grand Slam of Delgado’s career and his 31st HR of the season, giving him, as of right now, 40 multi-HR games and 10-straight seasons of 30+ homeruns.
Too bad JP Riccardi lowballed King Carlos two years ago...imagine Vernon Wells, Delgado and Troy Glaus hitting 3-4-5 on the Jays? There’s only one word for that:
Bomb.
Epilogue:
Sure, Albert Pujols ALSO hit a Grand Slam AND drove in 7 runs...and, sure, Carlos Beltran hit a walkoff-job giving the Mets the win, but those mitigating factors in no way take away from Delgado's bomb-ness...and, again sure, Delgado's 400 at 34 when compared to Phat Albert's 239 at 26 makes the argument that El Hombre is much MORE bomb, that, also, does not take away from King Carlos' bombocity; it just shows how much better Pujols is than ANYONE EVER.
See, Pujols isn't bomb like Delgado; he's FUCKING RIDICULOUS, like Ted Williams.
I hope that clears everything up.
