Question
Which team has the season record for having the most good home-run hitters? Not the most home runs, but the most hitters who hit at least 15, or 20, or whatever a good measure would be. Thanks.
Gary,
Three American League teams had 7 players on the club who hit 20 or more home runs. I think this is what you are looking for.
2005 AL Texas Rangers
Mark Teixeira / Hank Blalock / Michael Young / Alfonso Soriano /
Kevin Mench / David Dellucci / Rod Barajas
2000 AL Toronto Blue Jays
Jose Cruz / Carlos Delgado / Tony Batista / Shannon Stewart /
Brad Fullmer / Darrin Fletcher / Raul Mondesi
1996 AL Baltimore Orioles
Cal Ripken / Rafael Palmeiro / Bobby Bonilla / Roberto Alomar /
Brady Anderson / B.J. Surhoff / Chris Hoiles
I found one team that had 6 hitters on the team who had more than 25 home runs. You might want to consider them also.
2003 AL Boston Red Sox
Nomar Garciaparra / Manny Ramirez / Kevin Millar / Jason Varitek / Trot Nixon / David Ortiz

| Comment | Tom- Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for. As Texas Rangers fan, I wondered whether this year's team might make a run at such a record. With six hitters already in double figures, two more with 7, and Josh Hamilton about to return to the lineup, it could happen... Gary | ||
