Righthander Bartolo Colon has returned to the majors after a one-year hiatus, and Alex Rodriguez probably would prefer to see Colon in a uniform other than the Yankees'.
The Yankees' third baseman has feasted on Colon's fastball throughout his career, going 22-for-47 (.468) with six doubles, a triple and eight home runs. That includes a game against the Angels on April 26, 2005, in which Rodriguez hit home runs in each of his first three at-bats off Colon, driving in all 10 runs Colon allowed.
But Colon rebounded just fine from that beating. That was the season he won the American League Cy Young Award.
