How Bartolo Colon became the most lovable player in baseball
#MLB #Baseball #Mets

After Bartolo Colon hit a homerun off of James Shields The Padres had no choice but to trade Shields. That trade ended up being the greatest in franchise history yielding the Padres Fernando Tatis Jr.
big BARTOLO!!!!!
Dose that mean that Bartolo gave the padres tatis
@@No-cf7ik it absolutely does it might be indirect but it does mean that

It’s impossible to not love Bartolo Colon. He’s a lovable character.
You are fundamentally such a good story teller from your intonation, to the structure, to the way your able to build suspense and keep a viewer hooked. I don’t even really care for baseball, at least I didn’t think I did… but seeing what you put together and listening to the stories is always a real treat.
Waa waa carmoran consumes treat
When a fan once heckled Bartolo about his two families his reply was “I have three families”
I love your vids man always make my days better
14:20 that helmet story though ❤️❤️
Love this guy. He has like 4 or 5 different hollywood movies in his story.
He used to do long toss pre-game on his off-days with the angels. Between the pitchers mound and home plate the dude would just lazily rock back on one foot and fling the ball over the centerfield wall with absolutely no effort. It looked like the ball was filled with helium or something.
33 cents for a beer? change the laws and make my guy president
Lmao i make the same type of gum sandwiches. Colon is a one of kind character.
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks
As a Reds fan, let’s sign him! Can’t get much worse at pitching lol
I remember when He came up. He could throw it 100 mph, no one had any idea where it was going, but this skinny little kid could throw.
Big Sexy was the only player i was happy hit a dinger in Petco that wasnt a Padres player
The man ate corn his whole life, so he only ate fast food an adult. I Dont blame him
When baseball was fun and had spirit
“Somehow, Bartolo Colon is missing” is such a golden headline
"Somehow, Bartolo Colon returned."

Bartolo embodied what a lot of guys forget once you get to the competitive level: have fun. the part about hide and seek before his starts reminded me that.
@C4oUre -- Won't argue with that logic; that might be why he lasted as long as he did.
oh my gosh yes,, id imagine the lack of intense pressure and stress kept him physically healthy. Good mind=good body. Its wonderful that he never broke down to pressure and is still going strong
Bartolo Colon might just be the perfect embodiment of the Mets. Bad luck and controversy follows him everywhere he goes, he defies logic and has memorable and sometimes ridiculous moments, but still stands. He doesn't fit in, and doesn't want to fit in. He is admired by a loyal and dedicated following despite plenty of logical reasons to not do so, and makes beauty in a way only he can. Big Sexy, he may not be the best Mets player ever, but no one embodied this team more than he.
Sincerely, a Mets fan.
Well said
Beautiful
Whatever magic he had, he left it in New York.
🤭😘
Simply beautiful
I'll never forget being at Opening Day at Citi Field in 2017 when the Mets faced the Braves, and Bartolo got among the biggest cheers of anyone during introductions. It's the only time I can ever remember someone on the Braves getting cheered at Citi.
Quite a guy and always a joy to watch...😊😊
Bartolo helped the Padres get Fernando Tatis Jr. When the Padres win a World Series with Tatis, the team better send him a ring and invite him to the parade
One time I farted in the airport and Tatis was there I hope they send me a ring for helping too
@@nicholaso4302 sbd? Or no?
“When the padres win a World Series.” Is the funniest statement ever.
I believe in the scientific community they call this a “lucid” dream.
When? They’ll never win
The sexiest most athletic athlete of this generation
It’s a crime against humanity this specimen of peak male figure has never appeared on the cover of a fashion magazine
He is a force of nature

@@BoneyRasputin
Shit, you’ve got a point…
To show how beloved he is, that homerun he hit was in San Diego and still the fans went nuts. I could only imagine what would have happened if he hit it at Citifield.
I was at the game. It was crazy
@@khalilmartinez6063 that’s very cool! What an experience this had to be.
@@bosstime2010 yeah, even though I’m a Padres fan and most of the people on the stadium were as you said all the fans still went nuts. It was basically the only time I ever experienced that feeling of unity I guess, where no matter what we were all rooting for this one player
No
New York wouldve collapse from the earthquake
bro thank you so much for starting these long videos about certain players. You take so many time on them and they are absolutely amazing
My pleasure!
@@BaseballDoesntExist found the Chick-fil-A worker
“…Bartolo no slide” 😂 freaking legend
U should’ve made more emphasis on Colon taking a perfect game to the 8 at 45. I remember that game. That was insane. Overweight and old and almost threw a perfect game.
GOATolo
Bc fat or not bro has fucking grit
wym, peak human athletics
Overweight doesn’t mean out of shape. I see old men do feats most would seem impossible.
Know a 75 year old marathon runner. He’s not good lol but he runs it.
I was at a saints game in 2019 and I was talking to a guy and he tell a story about how in 2017 he was at a restaurant and the server told him he can't have any dessert because bartolo colon and miguel Sano ate them all
even if that wasn't true, would be a good joke for the server to say to the customers
Bartolo's home run is one of my favorite baseball moments... And I'm a Phillies fan
Same. And I'm a Padres fan.
Same and im a braves fan he is prt of my top 3 favorite players and hes not 2 or 3
Go Phils! IMO the best part of that home run is when you hear the crowd cheer and realize ITS AN AWAY GAME
Nats fan here, still love that homer and Bartolo in general. It's hard to not love Bartolo.
I don’t understand what being a fan of a certain team has to do with this lmao
He also has the record for the most consecutive strikes thrown by a pitcher... How could that not be mentioned in the video
38
He threw 38 strikes in a rowwww
I never knew this 👍👍
He spent 22 seasons in the majors, became the last active player to have played in the 20th century -- and is still playing pro ball a year shy of 50. Amazin' indeed.
If you can watch Bartolo Colon hit that home run and not smile, you arent a baseball fan. Heck you might not be human at all.
In my field of dreams Bartolo is pitching to Julio Franco with Rickey Henderson dancing off of first base ready to steal.
Damn that really is a beautiful thought. Julio is one of my all time favorites
Why does your field of dreams have so many guys that played for a billion years
Mets fan much??
@@lucasbell4831 No Nolan Ryan, no Pete Rose, no Jamie Moyer... nah he's just a Mets fan.
I'm not a baseball fan, but I am a Bartolo fan. Dude is a true original, and I applaud him for it.
That 2016 season was unbelievable. He was a machine.
2013 was better
The best thing about the machine he became, you could tell where the fuel tank was!
Of food :D
This stem cell doc bart saw is the real deal. I saw him after hearing bart's story. Saved me two serious surgeries
I wouldn't even care about his age if I was a GM or owner of a baseball team, he's a marketable player that would have a lot of fans watching him and everything. The positivity of this guy is awesome and some MLB team should honestly sign him for 2022 to an invite to Spring Training at least and see what he's got at 48 years old
Especially signing him for spring training. It’s almost no risk to the team and generates a ton of hype and excitement both from the fanbase and from the young players. It would build a lot of team culture and buzz.
a's should have signed him again......might as well considering how many players they traded. they would have at least gotten good publicity
GRADY SIZEMORE APPEARANCE
Fuzzy the 🐐
Salúdame Fuzzy!
Baseball version of John Daley
Still salty that the voters gave him that Cy Young. Johan Santana’s career would be looked at very differently if he won what he deserved.
Ken Griffey Jr for Nintendo 64 has Bartolo Colon as a free agent. I remember some tip magazine suggest I sign him for my team... been a fan ever since. Love the dude!
heh, he's also a free agent in The Bigs 2
@@DRChupacabrahAnd those games were released over a decade apart. heh
ha'
Man, this guy doesn't even put sponsors in his amazingly-produced videos - respect
Another great video. Thanks for working so hard man!
@@BaseballDoesntExist
Do you do Football, Hockey, Basketball too ....?
Awesome detail in the work you do.
I'll never forget that Bartolo homerun on The Mets. Everyone went absolutely nuts when he got it.
Wasn't that a grand slam?
@@andrewfrodo2086a grandslam is only if there are three runners on base and a homerun is hit, that was a two run homerun
Reasonable person: Colon used steroids and had double family. He’s terrible guy.
Baseball fan: He’s cute and fluffy.We don’t care.
Yup, kinda like the Trump Cult.
Crazy, isn't it?
@@briankoski817 yeah exactly but at least Colon crime more him taking a dumb risks.
I'll give you the steroids thing because that's bad. But the double family thing is overblown. Especially since both families knew and interacted with each other.
He was still married to his wife of 21 years. Settled the court case, most "dead beats" with money, would drag it out in a court of law, to air the mother's dirty laundry.
Alternative title:
Fat boy is cracked at baseball
I think its pretty clear that Barolo simply ate the individual who was threatening his family. There's no way that weight gain was a coincidence.
😂😂😂😂
Thank you for this video. You have definitely become my favorite baseball related channel. Always entertaining and well researched content. Colon is an enigma that for whatever reason I find fascinating.
wow. Bartolo is truly one of a kind!!
Now this man is the epitome of baseball. No cares at all, just love for the game and skill.
he's not enigmatic he's just dominican 🤣
Ima tell my kids he’s a male model
It is absolutely INSANE that he is universally beloved enough though he had a career that you could called divisive. And it is BEAUTIFUL
He also holds the record for most straight strikes thrown during a game I believe
43 strikes! And the first ball thrown was a damn strike
I'm not too sure how this totally works, but basically when you weigh more, you create more force than you would if you weighed less (assuming that you are as strong as you were when you weighed less), meaning that you would throw hard. This is in part why CC lost fastball velo
I mean you are driving most of your force using your lower body driving and creating a whip-like motion that propels your arm. I suck at baseball but love to dink around when I get the chance and after I gained weight even with it not being good weight I could throw a lot harder than I could as a teen.
@@presinald That's because it's less to do with weight itself, and more to do with _mass_ and how it can be applied.
@@NaruSanavai the difference between weight and mass is irrelevant considering earth gravity is more or less constant.
@@bubba200874426 Physics disagrees.
@@NaruSanavai how?
He is still the sexiest man alive
Im a hockey guy, but ive watched all of bartolos big moments. He reminds me of Phil Kessel from the NHL. Drinks all night, eats mcdonalds every day and still snipes 30goals a year, bartolo was strikin guys out hung over
Its more than just The most Loveable. Its the most BEST player of all time. Shohei Ohtani has nothing on this homerun hitting pitcher
Edit: This was before he changed the title, the title was "The Most "Loveable" player of all time"
If it weren’t for politics , Colon is a hall of famer
I saw Bartolo pitch at Citi Field but he was with the Yanks. I wish I could have seen him pitch as a Met in person. I still remember that game against the Padres when he hit the HR. I hit rewind for almost an hour straight, in amazement. The HR, Gary’s call, the team’s reaction, the giant Bartolo cutout held up by the 7 Line Army. On paper, Bartolo is a guy no one should like. But some people have a charm that lets them get away with a lot. In Bartolo’s case, he’s a complicated figure and everything, good or bad, simply adds to his legend.
0:24 best evolution of anyone
His home run as a Met is one of my favorite MLB moments ever, with an epic call from the announcer.
Now your username makes sense... Baseball doesn't exist anymore :(
Wait, did something happen im not aware of?
right, lockout
Remember seeing Bartolo pitch for the PawSox back in 2008
He was the fattest man I’d ever seen, lasted *maybe* four innings before leaving the game
In all my learned wisdom, I never would have guessed that tub of lard would last another decade in Major League Baseball
I was also at mccoy for his rehab start that year. I remember my dad says “he never balks” then he balked 2 pitches later
@@notanaudiophile6763
Tbf, his bulky body was balking at that point in time lol
@@notanaudiophile6763
Using baseball-reference, I found the specific game you were at: Monday September 1, against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs; Colon went six, giving up one run on four hits, one walk, and one strikeout. He got the win in the 9-2 PawSox victory.
The game I think I was at was on August 10, against the Charlotte Knights. Colon went only three (scoreless) innings, giving up a like number of hits and gaining the same amount of strikeouts. Funnily enough, the Knights’ winning pitcher was former Red Sox Tomo Ohka.
The enigma that is Bartolo Colon. Amazing video. This is the best channel on youtube. PERIOD
Bartolo is absolutely overweight and unathletic, in every sense of the word. But remember, Bartolo is still a professional, and a better baseball player than 99.99% of people on Earth. What makes Bartolo so unique is, actually like Willians Astudillo, raw awareness of the game and insanely talented reflexes.
As a Mets fan the fact I witnessed that home run in person is something I won’t ever forget lmaooo it was crazy
"It's outta heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere" Great call
Bartolo Colon weight gain throughout his career reminds me of what is happening with NickacadoAvacado
But the question is, will Bartolo make the HOF?
Most Sexy Baseball Player!
I remember when he was with the Indians he would literally pitch faster and faster as the game went on. There were times he would be in the 8th or 9th inning flirting with 100mph. He was a legend back then before any of this other stuff. He's just much more of a legend now.
Say what you want about the scandals, but as a baseball fan I can’t help but like this guy. His longevity and success speak for themselves. He never played for a team I rooted for, but he’s clearly a gamer so much respect. I hope he defies the odds and gets back to MLB for a last hurrah. If Satchel Paige could throw 3 scoreless innings at 58 years young, why not give Big Sexy one more shot?
I've seen some of his mexican league highlights and he still has it. I really want someone to take a chance on him.
Imagine a 50 years old colon throwing a perfect game. The world would explode at that point
What a legend! Despite swinging like an exploding gummy bear his homer was as crisp as can be.
I still have no idea how his stats were so..... um decent, I think opposing hitters constantly underestimated the apparent local mens softball coach that was standing atop the mound.
Ozzie Guillen deserves a stand alone episode
Colon looking for his first hit of the yearHE DRIVES ONE! Deep left field! Back goes Upton! Back near the wall! ITS OUTTA HERE!!! Bartolo has done it!! The impossible has happened! - Gary Cohen
I love these background story behind this fictional game.
🤣🤣 Like who’s Noah Syndergaard? It’s just Thor, duh
Pft… I mean there’s no such thing as a “Syndergaard”
Funny how baseball actually doesn’t exist anymore
Bartolo had the same number of career walks as a batter as he does home runs. Both of these happened in 2016
I remember watching colon as a kid in the early 2000s and he'd throw 100mph fastballs regularly... and I'll never forget when the commentator said that he learned to pitch by throwing rocks at coconut trees.
back them, commentators would make up any ridiculous wild sounding story about foreign players.
I met Bertolo at a met game when I was 11, i still remember the smell of his breath-im scared for life LFGM
I've been a Rays fan since day one, but damn I love me some Bartolo. Dude is a complete ham, and always fun to watch. The day he retires, I'll definitely shed a tear for a true legend of the game. Love ya, Big Sexy. Stay awesome bud!
Asking for a bigger helmet is the funniest part of this story
bartolo and cecil fielder on a tandem bike xD LOLLLL i'm dying. this is great
For some reason the way the narrator said "5 days later, he was traded" made me laugh pretty hard
BARTOLO ES UNA FINÍSIMA PERSONA EN MÉXICO 🇲🇽 LO QUEREMOS MUCHO ES UN CHINGON !
Hahaha
If someone signs Colon they will be my new favorite team.
If hat you are, good jorp is not his choice.
Awesome video, as usual!
Another interesting thing about Bartolo is the fact he ONLY throws fastballs. He may cut it or sink it, but he pretty much has no offspeed stuff. How he can do that and still be successful is astounding.
Lance Lynn does the same thing. Crazy
@@drumminfro great point! He has the same body build too haha
That, and it’s not even a plus fastball anymore ~90 mph. And his cutter and sinker aren’t these crazy wiffleball-like frisbees guys are throwing these days either. Just some subtle movements
@@jefffinkbonner9551 Goes to show location is more important than velocity. Maybe that Maddux guy was right
The Ozzie Guillen story about trying to find Colon when he went missing is an all time great. Wish you played the audio.
Well, my day just got better
In all seriousness, Colon is probably the best two-seam fastball thrower in MLB history
Your videos are always so well-produced, edited, researched, and most of all, entertaining. Keep it up man, love everything you do. Bartolo is an absolute legend even just for his antics alone. Gotta love a guy who doesn’t himself too seriously.
New fan of baseball, found this vid randomly, search his bio and stats and found out its his birthday. Happy birthday Bartolo Colon, a pitcher that I knew 5 minutes ago XD
Big sexy will be forever in our hearts
Honestly letting a 12 year old see a mlb pitch would probably be pretty helpful
He ain’t done. Someone needs to sign the man
The pure, genuine excitement in that Mets announcer when Bartolo Colón hit that nuke.
It's a beautiful thing to hear an announcer just losing his mind.
Bartolo Colon: National Treasure
2016 Bartolo: Confidence is an amazing thing. He was confident and having fun. Being Loose and just going out and playing a game probably felt easy.
Hell Baltimore should sign him.
This Orioles (and Mets) fan wholeheartedly agrees.
this was one of the most enjoyable videos i’ve watched in a while, thank you
bartolo’s 2-seam is my favorite pitch ever.
MLB: You tested really high on the T level Colon
Colon: I eat McDonalds everyday
What a great story. It shows you can overcome if you are determined. Also shows if you can win games for a team they would draft a ham sandwich!
Dominicans love this guy!!! Alot of mangu and salami!!! Our beloved baseball player!!
