Carlos Delgado hit four straight home runs vs the Tampa Bay Devil Rays last night at SkyDome. He's the first Blue Jay to do so and only the 15th player in the history of Major League baseball to accomplish the feat. Furthermore, he's only the sixth player ever to homer in four straight at-bats.
A night for the ages for Delgado, but as my brother Stephen wrote me this morning, "Delgado forgets how to play when the heat is on! But, when the heat is off, LOOK OUT!!"
