NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Bartolo Colon’s first career home run could have been a scene from “The Natural.”
And thanks to a creative YouTube user it now is, and it is simply glorious.
CBS Sports reports Reddit user Cold Yellow Gatorade posted a mashup of the Mets pitcher’s home run with the scene from “The Natural” when Roy Hobbs heroically knocks one out of the park.
Colon, who has become a cult figure among Mets fans, nearly broke the Internet with his two-run shot off San Diego’s James Shields.
Colon made history with that shot becoming the oldest player to hit his first career bomb.
