Bartolo Colon Hits Legitimate Double

Bartolo Colon hit a double and it could have been a triple, or maybe even an inside-the-park home run.

With a man on second and one out and the Miami infield expecting a bunt for some reason, Bartolo Colon just smoked a double to centerfield for his second career extra-base hit. Colon almost certainly could have had a triple on the play, but he broke into his home run easy double trot almost immediately out of the box and sauntered into second base while Ichiro was still chasing after the ball. For many hitters, it might have even been an inside-the-park home run because Ichiro was playing incredibly shallow in center and the ball rolled all the way to the wall.

His teammates, including Wilmer Flores, truly enjoyed the moment and even though we didn't get to see a Bart Colon inside-the-parker, we get the next best thing: Bart Colon, Baserunner. Unfortunately, the Mets went down quietly after that, but lets take another look at an RBI double swing.
