Take just one glance at the pitcher who has spent almost two decades in the majors and you may understand why his nickname is The Big Sexy. If not, take a look at everything he’s accomplished before he blows out 44 candles on his birthday cake this year.

The veteran has 19 seasons under his belt with four All-Star spots and a Cy Young Award from back in 2005. That same season saw him recognized as an MVP candidate.

One of Colon’s All-Star spots was from last season where he tossed a 3.43 ERA with 128 strikeouts and 32 walks.

The veteran is now making his home with the Braves, where he and another seasoned-pitcher will be leading the way for the young pitching staff. We will tell you about him later.
