I learned the hard way. When I started hitting home runs, I thought, I can hit these pitches. Then I started thinking, if I can do this, I can hit the pitch four inches outside or four inches up. I expanded the zone and got myself out. Pitchers are smart. If they find out they don't have to throw strikes, they won't.
Carlos DelgadoI love what I do on the field and that takes a lot of my time. But I also make time to help other people because a lot are not as fortunate as I am.
Carlos DelgadoYou probably don't call home and say, 'Hi, mom. I am facing Pete Schourek tonight.' Names and stats don't do it. You have to do it out on the field.
Carlos DelgadoIf you hit, they're going to like you. If you don't hit, they're not going to like you.
Carlos DelgadoI'm blessed with health and energy and passion for the game of baseball, and also to help children.
