What team has had the most 20 HR hitters in one season in MLB history?

Answer 1

There were three times that a team had three players who each hit at least 40 home runs. The Braves did it once, the Rockies did it twice:

Answer 2

Only three teams have had seven players with 20 or more home runs in one season: 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

One team has had six players with 25 or more home runs in one season:

2003 AL Boston Red Sox :

Nomar Garciaparra / Manny Ramirez / Kevin Millar / Jason Varitek / Trot Nixon / David Ortiz

16 teams have had six players with 20 or more home runs, namely the four listed above and: The 2009 AL New York Yankees, who already have six players with at least 20 home runs and two more in the chase as August 26: Mark Teixeira 31 Hideki Matsui 23 Alex Rodriguez 22 Johnny Damon 22 Nick Swisher 21

Robinson Cano 20 Jorge Posada 17 Derek Jeter 16

Answer 3

There have been three occasions where a Major League Baseball team has had three players hit 40 or more home runs in a single season. These are:

1973 Atlanta Braves - Davey Johnson (43), Darrell Evans (41), Hank Aaron (40)

1996 Colorado Rockies - Andres Galarragga (47), Ellis Burks(40), Vinny Castilla (40)

1997 Colorado Rockies - Larry Walker (49), Andres Galarragga (41), Vinny Castilla (40)

No team has ever had fouror more players score 40+ home runs in a single season. The 1997 Colorado Rockies came closest, with Ellis Burks hitting 32 home runs for the season.

Answer 4

1996 Baltimore Orioles had 8 (or 7 if don't you include Murray's HRs with the Dodgers). I'm not sure if that's the record or not.

Answer 5

Barry Bonds with 73 in one season. (Steroids)

Answer 6

Last team to do it was the 2004 Chicago Cubs: Lee, Ramirez, Alou, Sosa.

Answer 7

I believe the answer is Babe Ruth with 12 seasons A-rod and Manny are both at 11 season and both could tie the Babe by the end of this year if they finish strong.

Answer 8

1961 NY Yankees

Answer 9
