New York Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon became the oldest player to hit his first major league home run, connecting Saturday night less than three weeks before his 43rd birthday. Colon's major league debut was April 4, 1997, in a no-decision for Cleveland against the Angels. The opposing manager was Terry Collins, now in his sixth season as the Mets manager. At 42 years, 349 days, Colon is the second-oldest Mets player to homer. He was the oldest to finally hit a home run before Colon.
