The Royals still aren’t hitting home runs
皇家今年似乎忘了怎麼打全壘打...
Here, over the last 25 years, are the fewest home runs hit by teams in the
first 36 games:
以下列出過去25年來球隊於前36場比賽最少全壘打的紀錄
2012 Padres, 13 homers
– Padres finished 14th in the National League with 121 home runs and went
76-82.
2014 Royals, 14 homers
– The Royals did not hit a home run in their first seven games. They have
not hit one in their last four games either.
1992 Red Sox, 14 homers
– Red Sox went 73-89 and hit just 84 home runs all year, their lowest total
INCLUDING STRIKE SEASONS since 1946.
1991 Cardinals, 15 homers
– Cardinals were a speed team for Joe Torre and went 84-78. But they hit 68
homers all year, far and a way the lowest total in baseball. Todd Zeile led
the team with 11 home runs. As in ELEVEN home runs.
1991 Astros, 15 homers
– Houston lost 97 games that year and hit just 79 homers, led by a young
Jeff Bagwell, who hit 15. The Astros were playing in that home-run crushing
Astrodome.
1989 Cardinals, 16 homers
– Whitey Herzog’s Cardinals were always near or at the bottom of the league
in home runs, but they found ways to win by getting-on-base and using speed.
They hit 73 this season but won 86 games.
1994 Pirates, 16 homers
– Strike season Pirates went 53-61. Brian Hunter led the Pirates with 11
home runs in that same year the Ken Griffey and Matt Williams were on pace to
challenge Roger Maris’ home run record.
1993 Marlins, 16 homers
– Expansion Marlins lost 98 games and hit league-worst 98 homers, led by
Orestes Destrade with 20.
1989 Dodgers, 16 homers
– Defending World Champions had been power-challenged even in their
championship season but they hit just 89 homers in 1989, 10 fewer than year
before, and went 77-83.
