Watching the Yankees V Indians game on Saturday, my mother remarked “Geez that pitcher looks a little chubby”, referring to Yankees right hander Bartolo Colon. Whilst reflecting on the often oversize body shapes of pitchers, on the very next pitch Colon was forced to cover first base on a simple play, reaching a speed that could at best be described as jogging. He’s now on the 15 day disabled list with a strained hamstring. Pitching a 2 hitter through 7 innings or not, that dude is seriously testing the term ‘athlete’.
