You have probably heard that Mike Moustakas broke the Royals’ single season home run record last season, just as one particularly dashing writer predicted he would. The record had lasted nearly as many years as it had home runs - 32 versus 36. It’s unfortunate that late season leg injuries probably kept him from hitting 40 or more because that means the Royals are still the only major league franchise to not break that plateau.
It might be the smallest record and it might have been aided by a juiced baseball but it’s still the Royals’ record and it was a heck of a lot of fun to watch.
