Bobbletolo Colon

May 7, 2016. A day that will forever go down in history. The day New York Mets pitcher, Bartolo Colon hit his first MLB home run. The baseball world was afire and so were his hamstrings as he ran the bases (most likely). With Bartolo's shot off of James Shields, he became the oldest player (at 42 years old) in MLB history to hit his first career home run. Us baseball fans finally got to experience the moment we were all waiting for.

To commemorate this momentous occasion, Forever Collectibles has created a Bartolo Colon Home Run Bobblehead. The best part? Not only does his head bobble, SO DOES HIS STOMACH. Genius. Bobble Bartolo is sporting his Mets uniform and his home run swing, standing on a newspaper containing the headline: "Oldest Pitcher in MLB History Hits a Home Run." Behind him is Citi Field's signature center field big apple, even though Bartolo hit his home run at the Padres' Petco Park. Although the bobblehead is just a mock up pre order, I am sure it will create enough buzz to get them into production.

I personally can't wait to get my hands on Big Sexy.... Well, Big Sexy's bobblehead that is.
