Team season home run records set and challenged in 2019. Friday, September 20, 2019
Two teams, Mets and Royals, both expansion teams from the 1960s, had the team season home run record set in 2019. A few weeks ago it seemed like both the Angels and Dodgers would also have new home run records. But Mike Trout is out for the season with 45, two behind the Angels record and Cody Bellinger is stuck at 45; the Dodger record is 49.
