Astronomical Home Run Totals

batted balls · 02-28-2006, 09:06 PM

Just wanted to see if anyone else's home run records are too big to be true. Using the Lahman database, I've had three players top 80 home runs in a single season in my 13-year dynasty. Mike Schmidt hit 80 in the '77 season. Greg Luzinski broke the record with 85 homers in '81. Bob Horner blasted 83 longballs in the '83 season. Anyone else?

Have you checked your league totals each season against the actual totals on baseball-reference.com? Your entire league might be out of whack. Sometimes it's necessary to tweak the totals each year rather than simply hitting "Recalculate for historical accuracy".
