The streak is over: Bartolo Colon draws first career MLB walk!

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks... they've clearly never met or heard of Bartolo Colon before. At the youthful age of 43-years-old, the New York Mets pitcher/legend/cult hero proved once again that anything is possible.

Coming into Monday night's game vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field, Colon had gone to the plate 281 times throughout his 19 year career without ever once drawing a walk as a batter.

Plate appearance #282: it finally happened:

He did it! He actually did it! Cross it off the bucket list! And it was no gimmie either:

While this marks the end of an era, the longest MLB plate appearance streak without drawing a walk (281), it gives birth to a brand new Colon accomplishment:

A Colon homer AND a walk in the same year ... what a time to be alive! What's left for this titan of professional baseball hitting to conquer -- dare I say, an inside-the-park home run!? It couldn't possibly happen...

...right?
