Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) 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?

metirish Old-Timey Member Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 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.

Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Olerud in '98. Seemed like he was 2 for 3 with a walk every night.

metirish Old-Timey Member Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I think I missed the gist of this question.Tatis for a week solid was hot.
DocTee Old-Timey Member Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 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 Guests Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Foster's 1986 rip seems to have gone from May 18 to abut June 5. Edited September 10, 2008 by Guest
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I don't think you can name a thread "Legendary Hotness" and not include Lynda Carter.

G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 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.
