AboutTom Schott Expertise I will deal with the major leagues only from 19th century to present. I`m good on baseball history, records, statistics, ballparks. I don't do off-the-field stuff. Please if you already know the answer to the question, please don't ask it. I don't want to play "stump the expert."
Experience I've written on the subject, and I have substantial library of resources.

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.
Answer 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
