Ten years ago today, the impossible happened.

That's how the New York Mets remembered Bartolo Colón's legendary—and only—career home run, a moment that still brings a smile to baseball fans everywhere. But in a twist that feels straight out of a sports movie, the 52-year-old former Cy Young winner has hinted he might not be done yet.

When the Mets posted their anniversary tribute, Colón replied with a tantalizing message: "I might have more in the tank." For a fan base watching their team stumble to a 14-22 start, those words hit like a fastball to the heart.

"Throw we Mets fans a bone and make this happen," one fan pleaded on social media, tagging owner Steve Cohen. "We deserve some joy… no?"

It's easy to see why. The Mets rank 14th in the National League in runs per game (3.67), while their pitchers are allowing 4.33 runs per game—mediocre numbers for a team with baseball's highest opening day payroll at $357.6 million. Injuries to stars like Francisco Lindor, Luis Robert Jr., and Kodai Senga haven't helped, nor has an 11-game losing streak that tested even the most loyal fans.

Colón's tease isn't just nostalgia—it's a reminder of the joy baseball can bring. And while a 52-year-old pitcher returning to the majors sounds far-fetched, it's not unprecedented. Rafael Palmeiro was 53 when he played for the independent Cleburne Railroaders in 2018, hitting .301 in 31 games. Just last month, a 53-year-old knuckleballer named Vincent Towns was the first pick in the Atlantic League draft.

Colón probably won't hit another home run for the Mets. But his message landed because it speaks to something every fan understands: the hope that even in a tough season, a little magic might still be possible.

For now, Mets fans can dream. And maybe, just maybe, that's enough to change the story of their season.
