Currently immerse in the best season of his sports career, Cuban baseball player Yulieski Gourriel is on the verge of breaking the absolute homerun record in a National Series, and this feat seems imminent.

  The star in the Sancti Spiritus "Roosters" has belted 25 home runs in 65 games, a figure that makes predict a total of 34 moon shots by the end of the regular season.

This new record would beat the previous 32-homer score that Alfredo Despaigne, from the Granma "Sorrels", set in the previous championship.

If he ends up as the home-run leader, setting or not a record, the third baseman of the Cuban team would be a homer champion for the second time in his baseball career, after leading the 2005-2006 season, with 27 round-trippers.
