Never try to reason with Eddie. We all know how smart he thinks he is.

Carlos Delgado's career stats are at least on a par with some Hall of Famers. Here are just 4 examples: Jim Rice, Ron Santo, Andre Dawson and Willie McCovey.
Delgado played on some weak Jays teams which gave him little protection in the BO. If he was in the Yankees line up during that era, he might well have considerably better #'s.

As a left hand hitter at Yankee Stadium with their line ups he would have been incredible.

He had the temperament to play there as well. Although George wouldn't have put up with him sitting for the national anthem.

I saw Carlos Delgado hit two memorable home runs at Tiger Stadium when the Jays would visit the Tigers.

Early in the game on a warm summer night over twenty years ago in the now-defunct Tiger Stadium, Carlos drove one to centre field that rebounded off a sign in the second deck, well over 400 feet from the plate. It was memorable because the ball was still rising when it hit the sign. What tremendous power.
That was a fun old ballpark.

Just a note about Carlos' power/strength. He generated those homers with a very compact swing. It looked like he was barely swinging but the balls flew off his bat. Probably one of the strongest players of his era, at least.
