Japan's Home Run King Arrested Wladimir Balentien, who broke Japan's single-season home run record last year, has been arrested in Florida on domestic violence charges, the police said. Court records indicate that Balentien is facing a felony false imprisonment charge and a misdemeanor battery charge after a weekend confrontation at his wife's Miami-area home. Balentien is an outfielder with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows and hit 60 homers last year, breaking Sadaharu Oh's longstanding record of 55. Balentien previously played for the Cincinnati Reds and the Seattle Mariners.
