ALBANY — The New York State Senate honored retired MLB pitcher Bartolo Colón last week. The resolution recognized Colón’s “outstanding career, significant contributions to the state of New York, and his role as a proud Dominican immigrant who brought glory and excitement to the sport.” Senator James Tedisco, who represents Saratoga County, co-sponsored the legislation and met with Colón.

Colón, nicknamed “Big Sexy,” played for nearly a dozen teams, including the New York Yankees and New York Mets. He was a four-time All-Star with a career WAR of 46.2 across 3,461 innings pitched.
