MLB castoff Wladimir Balentien is making a run at the HR record held by Sadaharu Oh (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/wladimir-balentien-s-pursuit-of-japan-s-home-run-record-a-reminder-of-what-mlb-lost-025721380.html).

Bad ball slugger--from the link. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOiYZiS5PTU)

You're not allowed to break Oh's record. This should be interesting.

Balentien broke the record in his first at-bat on Sunday, and added another later on. The new record is 57 and counting
