Delgado sends nine home

Carlos Delgado set a New York Mets record with nine RBIs in the opener of Friday’s two-ballpark doubleheader against the New York Yankees.

Delgado had nine RBIs in a four-inning span at Yankee Stadium.

He hit a two-run double in the fifth off Dan Giese, then his 12th career grand slam in the sixth, a drive against Edwar Ramirez. Delgado added a three-run homer in the eighth off Ross Ohlendorf, his 13th home run of the season.

Dave Kingman drove in eight runs for the Mets in an 11-0 victory at the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 4, 1976.

Ah, the life of a celebrity.

Former Idaho linebacker David Vobora, the last pick in the NFL draft, has been dubbed Mr. Irrelevant and is being feted this week with a variety of events in Southern California. Here is the note we received from Vobora on Friday:

“Sorry I haven’t been able to get more to you. I have literally had ZERO time. I am leaving right now to go to the Playboy Mansion. I will get you everything tomorrow morning.”
