The Chicago Cubs record for most home runs in a season was set back in 2004 when they launched 235 long balls. That team was built to hit home runs and had four players tally 30 or more round trippers.
In just 58 games this season, the Cubs have already hit 96 home runs. They’re currently hitting 1.65 home runs per game, and on average they go about 21 at-bats in between home runs. If they keep up the current pace they’re on; they will hit a total of 267 home runs this season.
That wouldn’t just set a new franchise record, that would obliterate the Cubs previous mark by 32 home runs.
