There's a reason Bartolo Colon starts have become must-see events and social media happenings on the grandest scale. Every time he's on the field, there's a high probability of something strange, extremely unlikely or highly amusing happening, which essentially guarantees the viewing audience will be entertained.
More often than not, Colon's batting provides the entertainment value. Whether he's getting a hit or just swinging and missing and losing his helmet, the internet rejoices all the same. ..."
On Saturday, though, Colon changed things up and wowed us with his athleticism on defense. And in the process, he may have broken that same internet.

That was the only way to make that play. He would have hit the runner if he had tried it the other way.

Nice play. Not the first behind the back toss though.

Perfect toss. And the only way you can learn how to do it is by screwing-around at practice.

I was watching. Colon is one of a kind. Always fun to watch and the announcers love him. Fun play tonight, but also one fantastic game for him. He’s a keeper!
