Colon's legendary HR immortalized as baseball card

Prior to Saturday, Bartolo Colon's swing was best remembered as a clunky motion that usually resulted in the New York Mets pitcher hilariously losing his helmet. It's amazing how one at-bat can change everything.
Colon, 42, became the oldest player in major-league history to notch his first career homer Saturday, when he connected on a James Shields fastball and sent it into the stands at Petco Park, some 365 feet away from home plate.
On Sunday, Topps celebrated the iconic shot with a baseball card dubbed: "The impossible becomes possible."

Colon's special edition card is selling for $9.99 USD, and is available at Topps.com until Monday at 11:30 a.m. ET.
