“After Carlos Delgado hit two home runs in a game against Atlanta earlier this season, he made the somewhat curious decision of refusing a curtain call from the Shea faithful. Delgado said he’d only received two curtain calls before, for his 400th home run and after a four-homer game, and that his performance against the Braves simply did not merit one.
