1908 White Sox hit zero home runs over the fence. 1907 and 1909 one each.

Say what?

Babe Ruth hit 88% of his team's home runs: Red Sox 1919. Only 2 other Red Sox homered. Wednesday, June 5, 2019

The Red Sox team hit 33 home runs, 29 by Babe Ruth. Only two other Red Sox players hit home runs...

Only three players homering in a season for a team is a modern record since 1903. See 1908 White Sox below; they also had only three players homer...

Since 1903 teams have hit fewer than 10 home runs 19 times, all between 1903 and 1918 ...

The 1908 Chicago White Sox (88-64) hit the fewest home runs since 1903: three but ... three players, one a pitcher, hit one each:

Apparently they weren't into exit velo and launch angle.
