It was a good day for Bartolo Colon.
Colon is a national treasure. Oakland A's fans already knew this after spending two seasons watching him casually fire 90 mph fastballs with pinpoint accuracy, and the rest of the league figured it out when Big Bart returned to the New York stage and began to regularly don (and often accidentally doff) a batting helmet. But on Saturday, he authored his masterpiece, his magnum opus, his piece de resistance: he went deep. In fact, the 42-year-old became the oldest player in history to hit his first career homer.
