Bartolo Colon and Billy Hamilton in a race to first base:

Now, in all fairness to Colon, his second baseman made an atrocious throw behind him, so Hamilton being safe at first wasn't Colon's fault. But it is amusing to see the speediest guy in the game (Hamilton) run against almost certainly the least speedy guy in the game (43-year-old and portly pitcher Colon). I suspect that Colon will get a laugh out of this video when he sees it, too. He's one of the most personable and enjoyable players around.

Go, Bartolo, Go! The announcer was right...Big ol' Bartolo would have won if the throw had been on target. 'Course he only had to run 60' 6'' vs. Hamilton's 90 but who's counting?
