    After Bartolo Colon hit a homerun off of James Shields The Padres had no choice but to trade Shields. That trade ended up being the greatest in franchise history yielding the Padres Fernando Tatis Jr.

    Bartolo Colon might just be the perfect embodiment of the Mets. Bad luck and controversy follows him everywhere he goes, he defies logic and has memorable and sometimes ridiculous moments, but still stands. He doesn't fit in, and doesn't want to fit in. He is admired by a loyal and dedicated following despite plenty of logical reasons to not do so, and makes beauty in a way only he can. Big Sexy, he may not be the best Mets player ever, but no one embodied this team more than he.
    Sincerely, a Mets fan.

    I saw Bartolo pitch at Citi Field but he was with the Yanks. I wish I could have seen him pitch as a Met in person. I still remember that game against the Padres when he hit the HR. I hit rewind for almost an hour straight, in amazement. The HR, Gary’s call, the team’s reaction, the giant Bartolo cutout held up by the 7 Line Army. On paper, Bartolo is a guy no one should like. But some people have a charm that lets them get away with a lot. In Bartolo’s case, he’s a complicated figure and everything, good or bad, simply adds to his legend.

    Say what you want about the scandals, but as a baseball fan I can’t help but like this guy. His longevity and success speak for themselves. He never played for a team I rooted for, but he’s clearly a gamer so much respect. I hope he defies the odds and gets back to MLB for a last hurrah. If Satchel Paige could throw 3 scoreless innings at 58 years young, why not give Big Sexy one more shot?

    I remember watching colon as a kid in the early 2000s and he'd throw 100mph fastballs regularly... and I'll never forget when the commentator said that he learned to pitch by throwing rocks at coconut trees.

    I remember when he was with the Indians he would literally pitch faster and faster as the game went on. There were times he would be in the 8th or 9th inning flirting with 100mph. He was a legend back then before any of this other stuff. He's just much more of a legend now.

    What a legend! Despite swinging like an exploding gummy bear his homer was as crisp as can be.
    I still have no idea how his stats were so..... um decent, I think opposing hitters constantly underestimated the apparent local mens softball coach that was standing atop the mound.

  • @EclecticBuddha
    @EclecticBuddha 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Matt Antonelli over on his channel tells a story about going against Bartolo in a minor league rehab start. Bart was just throwing these insane 2 seam fastballs that moved all over the place. One of them was fouled to their dugout and it had a very conspicuous slice in it lol. Dude was doctoring balls in a rehab game.

  • @BensPitchingClips

    Its more than just The most Loveable. Its the most BEST player of all time. Shohei Ohtani has nothing on this homerun hitting pitcher
    Edit: This was before he changed the title, the title was "The Most "Loveable" player of all time"

    This dude.Sometimes you just have to make way for the crazy. He provided me with many entertaining moments back when I actually watched MLB. He didn't hurt anybody. He didn't beat women or get into fights at the strip club or try to front as anything but who he was. I like dudes like that. I'm sparking up a "clove cigarette" for you my man. Keep doing your thing. Great segment. I subscribed because of it and I wasn't looking to subscribe to anything.
