DELGADO: 11 TIMES 30, JOINS 12 OTHERS
For the second time in three days, Carlos Delgado belted a pair of home runs in a Mets victory, and his second homer on Wednesday at Philadelphia tied the score in the eighth inning.
That was his 30th home run this season, and he became only the 13th player in major-league history to reach the 30 marked in as many as 11 seasons. Hank Aaron (15), Barry Bonds (14), Babe Ruth (13), Mike Schmidt (13) and Jimmie Foxx (12) are the only major-leaguers to reach 30 homers more often than Delgado. (The other players who have done it in 11 seasons are Willie Mays, Frank Robinson, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Manny Ramirez, Alex Rodriguez and Jim Thome.)
