Far be it for most media members to say anything snarky about Bartolo Colon's physical stature, but, alas, the hypocrisy of most knows no bounds.
Suffice it to say, he's not built like the normal baseball player. He's also 44 years old, almost 45, and for the past few seasons has been competing for jobs against pitchers nearly half is age.
He has held his own, too.
So when someone knocks him for his heft or his years, or calls him "Big Sexy," he shrugs it off. He knows who he is, has adapted to what he must do these days, and believes that what his right arm and experience offers can still get major-league hitters out.
