This guy is so likable, it’s unbelievable.

Loved Bartolo, that Homerun was legendary and the flip of the ball ⚾behind the back to get the runner out at first 💙 !!!!

I was there in San Diego when he hit his first home run.

Bartolo Colon is a one of a kind legendary pitcher since he had an amazing tenure with many teams including the Mets

My fellow Bartolo! And then sadly, the game had to start.

[ChristopherSmith-tfnr]

I see he's slimmed down.😂😂. Love you bart.

Legendary! Omg I grew up watching Bartolo!!❤❤❤

[danielwilhelm]

He'd be more reliable today than what we've been putting on the mound most days recently.

Please sign him, this rotation needs another solid arm.

Should be a pitching coach with the Mets. If he could get batters out with 83-86 mph, he should be able to get others to do the same.

0:10 oh the irony of 2 former indians!! I remember when we first called him up here in cleveland in the late 90s and the amazement on everyones face when he started firing the heat. 100+ mph wasnt as common as it is now, especially for a shorter guy. He defys the laws of nature and could probably still be mlb worthy as a middle releiver or closer. He wanted to keep playing but mlb pretty much forced his retirement. Let the guy pitch!

Heroes get remembered but legends never die

[henryanguianolopez]

I still think the first pitch should be recorded to the home pitcher

[hdtripp]

How is he in better shape now after retiring from being a professional athlete

[dwx]

A hall of famer for being a baseball influencer

[andyburkinshaw]

100 million in pitching and we suck...facts not feelings

[royoquendo]

Only moment worth watching of the mets game today 😊

Lot of empty seats on a sunny Sunday afternoon

I wish he would have stayed on the mound for the start lol
