Legendary Hotness

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I forget where I read this but some Blue Jays fan wrote on the Interweb one time that the team that acquired Delgado would acquire a guy who at times will get so hot you wonder how they ever got him out.

This latest barrage -- 4 HRs in 2 games, all off lefties?? -- has to qualify.

Anywhoo like with the long HRs, anyone with some memories of legendary Met hotness streaks?

Right now I am thinking of Wright, early in 2006, where it seemed like he doubled to the gap in every turn at bat.

How come I can't steal photos from fafif?

Beltran in 2006 had a very hot stretch , in fact he was one half of the trivia answer during lasts nights game.


I don't remember the question properly but he hit for a torrid pace at one point , similar to Delgado now.

[Frayed Knot]

Gregg Jefferies for two weeks in 1988 after his call-up (Aug 28-Sept 12):
24 for 52 including 14 XBHs; .462/.500/.962

[Guest AG/DC]

Daniel Murphy last month.

Kingman in mid-April 1982 and again on west coast in July.

Edgardo Alfonzo, bunched around the time he went six-for-six.

George Foster in May 1986, after a terrible April and preceding an indifferent June.

Mazzilli, I think, the July of the blackout.

Dwight Gooden the second half of 1985.

[Centerfield]

Olerud in '98. Seemed like he was 2 for 3 with a walk every night.

[Guest AG/DC]

Mazzilli I had wrong. It was July, 1980.

.359 / .409 / .726 // 1.135

[metirish]

I think I missed the gist of this question.

Tatis for a week solid was hot.

[DocTee]

Benitez--for all the blame he got--had an incredible run one year.

(Sorry for the lack of details and memory-- dashing off to work)

[Guest AG/DC]

Foster's 1986 rip seems to have gone from May 18 to abut June 5.

[Centerfield]

I don't think you can name a thread "Legendary Hotness" and not include Lynda Carter.

[Guest themetfairy]

Mike Jacobs' debut week.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I remember stretches where Darryl Strawberry was locked in, probably in 1987 and 1988.

Don't have the dates though.

[duan]

Hit 10 home runs in his first 70 Major League at-bats

Agbayani had 7 homers in about 2 weeks

Tug McGraw in 1973 after August 20.

[metirish]

Cedano IIRC hit six home runs one week.


making shit up now , sorry.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

What a let down. I thought this was going to be the new "Pretty" thread.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

What? Oh.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Both of those guys, incidentally, currently have the exact same number of career total bases.

[RealityChuck]

Wayne Garrett in September 1973. OPS of 1.013. OBA of .411.

[Farmer Ted]

Orel in 1988. 59-straight scoreless innings. Fucker.

[Valadius]

Moises Alou, late last year.

I'm trying to forget Sept. 2007.

Straw June-early July '90, Mike a couple of stretches in 2000 in the first half, Kingman for home runs before the All-Star Break in '76, Derek Bell April/May 2000.

But this, given the timing and context and impact and wow! factor, has been unprecedented.
