Jays set to honor slugger Delgado

TORONTO — The Blue Jays plan to honor former slugger Carlos Delgado next year by adding his name to the club's Level of Excellence.

The franchise leader in home runs and RBIs will be the 10th person to be so honored by the Jays, who are planning a pregame ceremony for July 21.
