Delgado swatted No. 435 to move past Juan Gonzalez on the all-time list for Puerto Rican-born players, but few here in the States seemed to take notice. Even Carlos Beltran, who also is Puerto Rican and one of Delgado’s closest friends, didn’t know what he had done until he told him at dinner that night.
“It’s a great, great accomplishment,” said Beltran, who has 238 homers. “With all of the great players that have come from Puerto Rico, I know it means a lot to him. But I believe his goal is 500. That’s a lot.”"*
