Mets Fan Gets Bartolo Colon's Face Tattooed On His Arm After Home Run

There are few things in the world less important than a mans word. In this case, a statement was made at the beginning of the season, and it came true. Matt Sassi said to his buddy, Anthony Triola: "If Bartolo Colon hits a home run this year, I'll get a commemorative tattoo". Before the game on Saturday I met them in McFadden's and they told me about this bet. You'd think, ok... that's not happening. Right? WRONG! Coolest part of the bet was that they were both there to witness the feat in person. Matt is a Middletown, NY native that moved to San Diego. What were the odds that Bart would be on the hill the day of our invasion? What are the odds he'd go yard? Slim to damn near impossible. Matt could have chickened out and not gotten it at all, or gotten something small that could easily have been hidden. Instead he went balls to the freakin' wall with pretty much a half sleeve. Tossed THE 7 LINE ARMY on there for good measure and added the date of Bart's now famous swing. You manned up, Matt. Bravo.

Bartolo Colon hit his first career home run this week. That one moment has started a chain reaction of events never before thought possible. First, Noah Snydergaard was so inspired he hit two home runs. Now, some guy got a tattoo that takes up a pretty big portion of his arm that shows Colon’s face with his helmet falling off.

This fan made the mistake of telling a friend that if Colon homered this season he would get a tattoo to commemorate the moment. What’s next? Matt Harvey misses a red carpet event? Never say never!
