NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A Mets fan who said before the season that he’d get a commemorative tattoo if Bartolo Colon ever hit a home run has followed through on his promise.
According to the fan group The 7 Line Army, Matt Sassi made the vow to a friend while at McFadden’s Restaurant and Saloon, a popular Flushing hangout for Mets fans.
