Bartolo Colon's home run will be enshrined by Guinness World Records.

The crew will honor Colon, 42, as the oldest person to hit his first major-league home run on Tuesday before the New York Mets take on the Washington Nationals, reports ESPN's Adam Rubin.

As everyone should know by know, "The Great Bartbino" took San Diego Padres righty James Shields yard on May 7, triggering debates over whether it was one of the greatest moments in baseball history.

In the aftermath, Colon inspired Noah Syndergaard to be a better ball player, and the veteran also got his own baseball card commemorating the blast.
