Bartolo Colon may be 46-years-old, but he’s not ready to call it quits on his MLB career just yet. The former New York Mets pitcher is reportedly hoping to snatch a minor league contract this spring with the hopes of making it back to the show at some point in 2020.
There aren’t too many athletes as universally beloved in sports as Colon—at least not over the last ten years. His time with the Mets from 2014-2016 helped to further rewrite a career tainted by a PED suspension. And even despite an illegitimate child on his resume, the big burly starting pitcher is somewhat of a folk hero in baseball circles.
