Legendary Hotness

I forget where I read this but some Blue Jays fan wrote on the Interweb one time that the team that acquired Delgado would acquire a guy who at times will get so hot you wonder how they ever got him out. This latest barrage -- 4 HRs in 2 games, all off lefties?? -- has to qualify. Anywhoo like with the long HRs, anyone with some memories of legendary Met hotness streaks? Right now I am thinking of Wright, early in 2006, where it seemed like he doubled to the gap in every turn at bat. How come I can't steal photos from fafif?

Beltran in 2006 had a very hot stretch , in fact he was one half of the trivia answer during lasts nights game. I don't remember the question properly but he hit for a torrid pace at one point , similar to Delgado now.

Gregg Jefferies for two weeks in 1988 after his call-up (Aug 28-Sept 12): 24 for 52 including 14 XBHs; .462/.500/.962

Daniel Murphy last month. Kingman in mid-April 1982 and again on west coast in July. Edgardo Alfonzo, bunched around the time he went six-for-six. George Foster in May 1986, after a terrible April and preceding an indifferent June. Mazzilli, I think, the July of the blackout. Dwight Gooden the second half of 1985.

Olerud in '98. Seemed like he was 2 for 3 with a walk every night.

AG/DC Sep 10 2008 08:43 AM

Mazzilli I had wrong. It was July, 1980. .359 / .409 / .726 // 1.135

I think I missed the gist of this question. Tatis for a week solid was hot.

DocTee Sep 10 2008 08:47 AM

Benitez--for all the blame he got--had an incredible run one year. (Sorry for the lack of details and memory-- dashing off to work)

Foster's 1986 rip seems to have gone from May 18 to abut June 5.

I don't think you can name a thread "Legendary Hotness" and not include Lynda Carter.

Mike Jacobs' debut week.

I remember stretches where Darryl Strawberry was locked in, probably in 1987 and 1988. Don't have the dates though.

Cedano IIRC hit six home runs one week. making shit up now , sorry.

Rockin' Doc Sep 10 2008 11:02 AM

What a let down. I thought this was going to be the new "Pretty" thread.

OlerudOwned Sep 10 2008 11:46 AM

What? Oh.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 10 2008 12:05 PM

Both of those guys, incidentally, currently have the exact same number of career total bases.

RealityChuck Sep 10 2008 12:18 PM

Wayne Garrett in September 1973. OPS of 1.013. OBA of .411.

Farmer Ted Sep 10 2008 12:21 PM

Orel in 1988. 59-straight scoreless innings. Fucker.

Moises Alou, late last year.

Straw June-early July '90, Mike a couple of stretches in 2000 in the first half, Kingman for home runs before the All-Star Break in '76, Derek Bell April/May 2000. But this, given the timing and context and impact and wow! factor, has been unprecedented.
