This Bartolo Colon Movie Trailer is Exactly What Your Friday Needed

I woke up this morning like I wake up every morning … in a car bed:


Yeah, but it’s a totally sweet car. 

I got up, let my dog, Henry, outside, ate some breakfast, brushed my teeth, and started working. But something was missing all morning. Something felt … off, and I just couldn’t put my finger on it.

And then the @MLB Twitter account saved the day.

With the Oscars around the corner, @MLB tweeted out one final movie trailer for award consideration – A movie featuring the one and only Bartolo Colon as: The Last Five-Tool Player.

Check it out:

Rated G for Glorious. 

Yeah, that might be the best thing I’ve ever seen … Do you think it’ll come out in 3D?
