Bartolo Colon turns 45 today. In honor of his birthday, here are 45 things you need to know about one of the most improbable careers in recent history.
1. He's 45 years old! But you knew that already since I just mentioned it. You can probably guess that it's pretty unusual for a 45-year-old to be pitching in the majors. Once he makes his first post-birthday outing, Colon will become just the 16th MLB pitcher since 1900 age 45 or older. How old is he? Gleyber Torres of the Yankees homered twice off him Monday.
