Last year, the Yankees set the single-season record for home runs as a team with 267. In reality, the record and the Yankees’ chase of it wasn’t much more than a fun thing to follow as the season went along. They still ended up losing in the playoffs to the team they broke the record against. However, it was a nice moment when it was finally broken. It will be a fun thing to look back on as we get further away from the disappointment of the way last season ended.
Between the way baseball is currently played and the lineup the Yankees will put out, chances they will have a shot to re-break that record again in 2019.
