Did you know that the Yankees set a new record in team homers in 2018, with 267? Oh, you did? Facetiousness aside, the Yankees’ team home run record has reached “Todd Frazier is from Tom’s River, New Jersey”-level in terms of oft-cited factoids. Granted, the former is more noteworthy, as the record reflects both the 2018 Yankees’ prowess with the long ball and the rise of the home run across all of baseball. Indeed, it’s not hard to envision the Yankees breaking their own record in 2019, provided that their big guns perform reasonably well and league-wide trends hold.
