i did some nerdsearch on royals and home runs.
-the royals have been above the league average home run total only 4 times in their history, all of which came during the DoD (1975, 1977, 1982, 1985)
-oddly enough the royals' lowest HR total for a full season came right in the middle of that (sys' wet dream of only 65 HR in 1976)
-the royals single season home run record came in 1987 with 168 HR. (the league average that year was 171)
-this year the royals are on pace to shatter their record with 206 HR.
-since 1969, the highest MLB average home run total was in 2000, at the peak of the steroid era (190 HR)
-this year the MLB average home run total is on pace to be a new record (204 HR)
