— -- New York Mets starting pitcher  Bartolo Colon delighted fans when he hit his first career home run Saturday against the San Diego Padres, and now those fans will have a chance to own that historic moment -- in trading card form.

The card is being produced as part of the Topps Now line, in which the classic company takes memorable moments from the 2016 MLB season and turns them around into instant cards that are available for purchase for just 24 hours. The Colon card includes the text "The Impossible Becomes Possible", an allusion to announcer Gary Cohen's line "the impossible has happened" -- itself a callback to Vin Scully's famed call of Kirk Gibson's walk-off home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series.
