When Bartolo Colon takes the mound on Wednesday night against the Nationals, there may be a lot on his mind.

The 42-year-old pitcher found himself in the news on Wednesday morning for a pretty serious child support case that suggests he has been hiding a secret family.

The report comes from the New York Post and it alleges Colon has essentially been keeping two families in New York. He has four kids with his wife of 21 years and another two with a 38-year-old woman in the center of the child support case.

"Colon — who has earned more than $100 million in his career — sired the children with the Washington Heights woman while he was also playing the dutiful family man with wife Rosanna and their four sons," it reads in the New York Post.

It's a bizarre story and one that just happens to be developing as Colon prepares to face the Nationals opposite Gio Gonzalez.
