The New York Yankees surpassed the 1997 Seattle Mariners for the most team home runs in MLB history in a single season. The previous record was 264 set by the ’97 Mariners who featured sluggers like Ken Griffey Jr., Jay Buhner, Edgar Martinez, and a young Alex Rodriguez.
That record came falling down with the Yankees recent home runs from Gleyber Torres, Giancarlo Stanton, and likely others by the time this is published, and now sits as the all-time leader.
When looking at the leaderboard for best team seasons in MLB history, I wasn’t terribly surprised to see the Toronto Blue Jays listed in the top five performances of all-time.
