Meet this New York Mets fan who’s now a proud owner of a Bartolo Colon home run tattoo. Why? Because life is all fun and games.

Tattoos are common these days. We all know this.

Turn on any NBA game and you’ll be reminded of how popular they’ve become.

Actually, sometimes it feels like the rarity is the person who doesn’t have one tattoo.

In the case of this New York Mets fan, he’s obviously not the rarity. In fact, he’s one of the braver ones.

Check out the Instagram post above. Prior to the season starting, Matt Sassi understood how impossible it was that the 42-year-old Colon hit a home run. So, if Big Sexy accomplished the feat, he made a wager that he’d get a tattoo in tribute should the moment ever happen.

Guess what Matt? It happened.

Mr. Sassi, the Middletown, NY transplant now living in San Diego, is a man of his word.
