Bartolo Colon displayed some surprising athleticism during Saturday night's New York Mets game in Miami by making a behind-the-back flip to first base for an out.
It happened in the sixth inning as Colon hustled over to the first base line to field a soft grounder by Marlins batter Justin Bour, then made the surprising toss that put a smile on the faces of all the Mets.
At 42-years old, Colon became the oldest Mets pitcher to throw a shutout, only giving up nine hits as the Mets beat the Marlins 7-0.
