Note: Delgado has only Done 2 Curtain Calls
…before people start going wild about Carlos Delgado’s decision 
to not grant the fan’s request for a curtain call during today’s game, note the following…
According to the Associated Press, Delgado, who has hit 432 career home runs, has only accepted two curtain calls during his 16-year career – once following his four-home run game in 2003, and again in 2006 following his 400th career home run.
Delgado, regarding the curtain call, as quoted in the report:
“The way I look at is I hit a solo home run in the seventh inning…I’ve got a great deal of respect for the game. I don’t think that’s a place for a curtain call.”
…on one hand, it’s his right to accept or decline, and i actually sort of admire his respect for the game and his reasoning…at the same time, he and the fans have a rough relationship going right now, and it would have been nice to see every one shake hands and smile for a moment…
