Puerto Rico vs. Dominican Republic is coming to Citi Field, and Carlos Delgado is taking it seriously. Delgado joins Jay Horwitz to break down why this matchup is so much more than a game — the energy, the culture, the bragging rights — and why once first pitch hits, everyone’s playing to win.
He talks about teaming up with Carlos Beltrán on the bench, Mets bullpen coach José Rosado, and why he’s managing Puerto Rico like it’s the World Baseball Classic. Delgado also opens up on 25 years of his Extra Bases Foundation, rebuilding Puerto Rico after hurricanes, mentoring the next generation of players, and what it means to still hold the PR home run record.
Oh — and he tells the story behind that 9-RBI night at Yankee Stadium.
