Veteran ballplayer and elite athlete Bartolo Colon nearly took a header on Sunday after the New York Mets' Game 2 National League Championship Series win over the Chicago Cubs at Citi Field.

Colon was walking from the field to the clubhouse when his cleat caught the edge of a slick metal panel running along the tunnel floor.

Eye On Baseball's David Brown spotted footage of the fall. Colon's leg shot out, bringing him to the ground. He was immediately back on his feet, however, because in Colon's breast beats the heart of a champion.

So remember: Colon falls down, but he gets up again. You're never going to bring him down. And other Chumbawamba lyrics.





Dan is on Twitter. As always, they put so much damn lacquer on the thing. It was an accident waiting to happen.
