Adding to OP thanks.

God bless his soul

We need more people like this man in our society.

RIP

This was right about the time I started getting into pro sports. I think Delaney/arrival of Dan Quisenberry is about my earliest sports memories. (I vaguely remember Brett's chase for .400 in 1980 but in all honesty, playing whiffle ball in the cul de sac with the neighborhood was more interesting)

So I know this thread isn't about food but bumping it anyway.

Until I wandered in here I didn't know anything about him. It doesn't seem like he is mentioned all that much anymore. I'm glad that people here keep his memory alive.

Yea, if it wasnt for this place, its almost like no one would remember him. I almost never hear anyone in the media talk about him anymore.

Its too bad, i think his story has potential to make a very good movie.

Had he lived the 80's would have been kinder to our record for sure and maybe Blackledge would not have been a total bust because Joe was there to lean on but then maybe not:shrug:

For sure because Delaney was in the Walter Payton category at that very time and he was every bit as talented as Walter IMO.

One of the greats. His 56 game hitting streak is something that will never be touched.

You need to add Dazed to that Confused
