Big Sexy. Bartbino. Meme Jesus. These are just a few of the nicknames of Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bartolo Colon. The 5’11”, 285 pound starting pitcher will be pitching in his 21st season in Major League Baseball for the Bravos this coming season.
If there’s one thing to be thankful for about the Braves in 2017, it is that they finally have some players with personalities. Besides having Freddie Freeman and his hug parade, we have Dansby Swanson with his “hair and flair” at shortstop. Now the Braves have a 43-year-old Dominican teddy bear who will be on the mound every fifth day.
