The Bartolo Colon at bat meme celebrates the delightful and unlikely hitting career of MLB pitcher Bartolo 'Big Sexy' Colon. Known for his portly stature and infectious charisma, Colon’s plate appearances became must-watch television as his helmet often spun off his head during violent, unsuccessful swings. The meme reached legendary status after May 7, 2016, when the 42-year-old pitcher hit a miraculous home run, becoming the oldest player in history to hit their first career blast. Today, the template is used to represent 'giving it your all' despite the odds, the beauty of the unexpected, or simply the chaotic joy of an underdog succeeding in a role they weren't originally designed for.
