The 30 most absurd MLB fan tattoos
It was the moment that stopped the internet: Bartolo Colon's amazing, spectacular, unspeakably awesome home run.
The fact that it took him longer to get around the bases than it did Nyquist to get around the track at the Kentucky Derby is irrelevant, this is a moment in time that we will all remember.
That's not just figurative, but literal, as we learned earlier this week that one Mets fan was forced to get a commemorative tattoo to honor the home run.
It left us wondering: What is the most absurd baseball tattoo ever?
Here is one representative for all 30 teams.
1. Boston Red Sox
