 Friday, September 15th, 1995: Fans seated in the bleacher section at Kauffman Field were taking cover all day long as Carlos Delgado took aim, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. Days like this are rare. After his amazing performance in Kansas City's 6-3 triumph over the Cleveland Indians, the first baseman's name will soon be added into the record books.
He told reporters at the postgame press conference, "I told myself not to press on the last one. I knew I couldn't force it... that it has to be a nice easy swing."
For the game he collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, batted in 6 and scored 3 runs.
C. Delgado hit a three-run home run off N. Minchey in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off N. Minchey in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off B. Manuel in the 7th.
This year Delgado has batted at a .324 pace with 180 hits, 31 home runs, 108 RBIs and scored 82 times.

 Thursday, August 24th, 1995: It was a parade of hits for Darryl Strawberry of the New York (N) Mets... one right after another... a total of 5 for the day. He ravaged the San Francisco Giants for 5 hits in his 5 at-bats and propelled the Mets to a 8-7 victory.
"Strawberry was really good and we were really bad," groaned the Giants manager. "Next time he's that hot, we'll just walk him."
D. Strawberry singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off M. Turner in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off D. Bochtler in the 8th and walked in the 10th.
To date Strawberry has chalked up a .314 average with 24 home runs, driven in 101 runs and scored 91 times.

 Sunday, August 20th, 1995: Felix Jose of the San Francisco Giants had a lot to celebrate in today's 6-1 win over the Montreal Expos. Three times he celebrated by pounding the ball out of Candlestick Park.
He kiddingly told reporters after the game, "Hopefully, I can continue to close my eyes and swing as hard as I can. It worked well today."
The powerful San Francisco right fielder tagged 4 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 4 runs and scored 3 times in his three-home-run outburst.
Jose added, "Seriously, I just try to swing early and often to give myself a chance. I let the pitcher supply all the power, I just try to figure out how to get the bat on the ball."
"We talked about changing our strategy for the third one... and then he hit another homer," the Montreal manager said. "We just couldn't get him out."
F. Jose hit a two-run home run off P. Perez in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off P. Perez in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off P. Perez in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
To date this year Jose is batting .320 with 26 home runs.
