Bartolo Colon may not be quick on the bases, but he's definitely quick-witted.
During the New York Mets' 7-1 win on Monday over the Washington Nationals, a fan apparently began heckling Colon, according to ESPN's Adam Rubin.
His material? The right-hander's pending lawsuit over failing to provide child support for two kids he had with a woman who isn't his wife.

But instead of caving and letting the fan get in his head, Colon fired back by saying he actually has three families.
The heckler was disarmed, and saluted "Big Sexy."
Colon is due back in court in June.
