Carlos Delgado’s 9 RBI Career Day
Carlos Delgado deserves some props for his 9 RBI day yesterday at Yankee Stadium. I’m always so quick to bash this dude, and deservedly so. The 9 RBIs was a career-high for Carlos, and it set a Mets record as well because 8 RBIs was the previous record set by Dave Kingman in 1976. That’s a long standing record that Delgado just broke. A whole bunch of Mets’ players had 7 RBI games.
According to Mets.com, Delgado had this to say about his career day, “It seems like I haven’t caught a break this year. But I don’t complain. I figure that things are going to happen when you make them happen. You make adjustments, you go out there with the right approach, you swing at strikes and you kind of control your own fate. You want to come in, especially with guys in scoring position — you want to come up with a big hit. You understand how big the Yankees and the Mets series are, and you want to contribute.”
