A tribute to Bartolo Colon

No, he's not dead (not trying to cause any panic).

I just saw an ESPN tweet tonight that Colon expressed his desire to return again next season if the Mets will have him back. It's remarkable how well he pitched this season (15-8, 3.43 ERA, 1.21 WHIP) considering turned 43 years old and he's farther and farther from winning Mr. Olympia.

I marvel at how he can still hustle for a big man. He made a few nifty plays at first to get some outs this season. He also accomplished this career first in 2016, much to the delight of his teammates.





These two plays are from last season, but they're fun to watch:






I hope Bartolo is back on the mound next year!!!
