September 11, 200521 yr His charity is donating $25,000 and Delgado is also making a personal donation of $25,000. Slugger Carlos Delgado has hooked up with the Red Cross chapter in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to lend a helping hand for Hurricane Katrina victims. The slugger's charity, Extra Bases Inc., is donating $25,000 to those affected by the devastating storm. In addition, Delgado is making a personal $25,000 contribution.
September 11, 200521 yr Very nice move by Carlos. All MLB Players that make in the millions should be doing the same.

September 11, 200521 yr Now he just needs to get a ring so he can auction it off if another disaster hits...
September 11, 200521 yr Its funny how some people wont acknowledge thinks like this, but will still be on him cuz he doesnt salute the flag.
September 11, 200521 yr Awesome. I think it was Deion Sanders who said that every athlete for every sport should at least donate $1,000. I agree.
September 11, 200521 yr Author Its funny how some people wont acknowledge thinks like this, but will still be on him cuz he doesnt salute the flag. 939897[/snapback] I think you mean he won't stand for God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch on weekends, not saluting the flag. He has been standing for it all season long, so it's moot now.

Doesn't matter if you're making the league minimum, that is money that is going to people are without homes and are more needy than they are.
September 11, 200521 yr Very awesome of Carlos. He's a good person. Off topic, but what was Carlos' contract in Toronto? Wasn't it like 4/70? From what we heard in the offseason, he saves a lot of his money. Dude has to be loaded.

It's also a shame how we don't hear much about Delgado's generous contributions to the 9/11 victims' families. I wonder what he must feel, knowing that some of those people he helped out boo him every time he's in town.

Dude has to be loaded. 939967[/snapback] He was getting a ton of money from Toronto (at some point in time, I'm pretty sure he was the highest paid player annually), and I remember reading somewhere that he is either the 3rd or 4th wealthiest professional athlete because he invests his money in more sound investments than Cristal and cars.
