Mad Dog: He's not trying to win!
Uh...
I love Carlos. I didn't read the article, but I read Madden's the other day, and it was equally hallucinatory. He took a quote from Carlos explaining why there was no need for a curtain call in the situation, and Madden simply went on about sending the fans a message like he hadn't just included the quote at all.
"Q: Did any teammates try to convince you what to do, one way or the other?
"A: Convince me? No. Julio Franco's not here."
.
.
.
"Q: Would you ask them to stop booing?
"A: Me? A Puerto Rican kid in the middle of the city? Are you serious?"
.
.
.
"Q: Have you thought about what would’ve happened if you just took the curtain call?
"A: I have no idea. What was I supposed to do? I’m just curious. Am I going to stay out there until they start booing again? I don't know."
LOLZ! I'm starting to get a man-crush on Carlos Delgado.
Jeter has to actually hit a ball over the wall to get a curtain call.
... which explains why he's still waiting for his first curtain call of the season. Zzzing!!
The first time I saw Carlos Delgado play was at the 2000 MLB-NPB All-Star Series in Japan. My brother and I attended Game 1 at the Tokyo Dome, sitting on the first base line side. Hisanori Takahashi, at the time a very good pitcher for the Yomiuri Giants was on the mound, and Carlos Delgado was batting lead-off. About three pitches in, Carlos put the ball into right field seats.
Later, I was at a concession stand, and noticed they were showing replays on the monitor. Seeing the pitch on TV, I got to see the location. Fastball, inside, on the knees. And he hammered it. That's how I learned that Carlos Delgado was one hell of a hitter.
I've got to admit that fans are definitely going to far when they call for curtain calls during pracice.
