PHOENIX -- Bartolo Colon is having a big season at the plate.First, that unforgettable home run, and now -- at last -- a walk.The 43-year-old New York Mets pitcher drew the first base on balls of his career Monday night against Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray. It came in Colons 282nd plate appearance over 19 major league seasons.No other player in big league history had appeared at the plate that many times without a walk, according to ESPN Stats & Info.With a full count in the fourth inning, Colon took a high fastball from Ray and strolled to first base.That surprised me as well. I dont know why that pitcher didnt strike me out. He could have. I really couldnt do much more at that point, Colon said through a translator, citing a sore left wrist.The right-hander lasted four innings and left trailing 5-2. The Mets went on to lose 10-6.Back on May 7, Colon was 17 days shy of his 43rd birthday when he connected for a stunning drive off James Shields in San Diego, becoming the oldest player to hit his first major league home run.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
