Last Saturday, dreams came true when the face of baseball, Bartolo Colon, blasted a James Shields offering 365 feet in Petco Park. The Internet erupted, people in San Diego jumped for joy, James Shields died a little inside — it was a moment to behold.
And for one Mets fan, Big Bart’s career highlight will live on forever in the form a sleeve tattoo.
Details from The7Line.com:
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!
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.
The work of art on Matt’s arm:
