A ragtag bunch of kids in Toledo, Ohio, are about to learn some life lessons from Royals pitcher Roman Colon, and Colon is going to learn a little something about himself. Colon is chipping away at his 200 hours of community service he received for a 2007 clubhouse brawl, which started with Colon throwing down on a teammate who turned down his iPod and ended with Colon breaking the face of another teammate who was trying to break up the fight (the guy ended up with three titanium plates in his head along with a lot of wires and screws). Colon's Toledo trip is going to be real heartwarming just as long as the kids stay away from his iPod.

Roman Colon is six foot six inches tall and weighs 245 pounds.The guy with titanium plates in his head was just trying to break up the fight.I suppose 200 hours of community service will give Roman Colon plenty of opportunities to help people.
