On May 7th, 2016, 42-year-old pitcher Bartolo Colon hit his first and only career home run against the San Diego Padres. Looking for his first hit of the year, Colon stepped up against pitcher James Shields with a runner on second base. Sitting at a 1-1 count, Colon turned on a 90 mph fastball and drove it deep over the left field wall, extending the Mets lead to 4-0. In Colon's final All-Star season, he set a career high in total bases on the year, tallying 10 throughout 2016. The Mets celebrated the 10-year anniversary earlier today on social media. Colon's response? "I might have more in the tank."
