— -- The hitting exploits of New York Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon have been well-documented in recent years. But he threatened to break the Internet when he did the unthinkable: hit his first major league homer, at the age for 42, in Petco Park, no less.

And Twitter's reaction to Colon's homer was full of awe and humor. Here is just a very small sampling.
