Bartolo Colon continues to bless the baseball world with his presence and highlights.
On Wednesday, Colon took a line drive straight to the gut off the bat of Jean Segura. Impressively, Colon stuck with it and picked up the ball to throw out Segura for the first out of the fourth inning.

Colon of course had a perfect quote about the play after the game, crediting the padding on his belly for protecting him.
