'Big Sexy' Colon strikes a pose on photo day

New York Mets/Twitter

Tuesday was a wild day at New York Mets camp after Yoenis Cespedes trotted around the facility on horseback prior to photo day, stealing the thunder from veteran hurler Bartolo Colon.

Nicknamed "Big Sexy" for his smooth moves on the field despite his husky frame, Colon had a busy day in front of the camera ahead of his 19th big-league season.

Colon was also featured in a potentially historic group shot with the Mets entire starting rotation, which took turns earlier this spring practicing his famous behind-the-back flip.
