Six years down the line, Delia posted another video after hitting his first home run for Red Bank Catholic High School.

“Hi, my name is Alfred Delia. At home they call me Big Al, and I hit dingers,” Delia said.

Those were the words that brought the young star to fame. Fans remember the little boy with smiles and dreams who is now a teenager doing the same thing he did before.
